We are a Mac family, but my wife needed (meaning she wanted) a windows based laptop to use in the MBA program she is beginning. I hated the idea of buying a windows based system that would be used just for the duration of her graduate program. I thought this one would be a reasonable compromise. Boy was I wrong. This computer more than meets the needs of someone entering a graduate business program. The place I work is also a windows environment, and I am thinking of buying a second one for my office. Everything works great, fast and Windows 7 is actually pleasant to use.
This laptop was bought for my nearly 60-year old computer illiterate mother. It’s perfect for her! She just needs to check her e-mail, chat with old friends, browse her weight watchers, read her news, and other basic stuff. The screen size is a fantastic value. I taught her how to upload pictures from her digital camera on this laptop and it worked perfectly, no complaints! This is perfect for kids, teenagers, and others that don’t do a whole lot on the computer.
Believe it or not this machine impresses me big time. I’ll give you a pro and cons list instead of just my commentary.
pros- THE PRICE! the screen size (15.6 in. WOW), keyboard is pretty nice with numkeys- excellent layout! doesnt come with windows 7 starter but with home! processor 2.2 ghz… newer ddr3 memory 2gb (all an average user needs) wireless that supports even the band N. includes optical drive. much much more.
cons- speakers
chassis seems like its semi-cheaply made compared to some- power cord sometimes can comeout on you if your not careful with it. trackpad/mouse thingi looks cheap. wouldve been cool to have webcam
but now let me explain the cons away. Speakers- are you kidding me u shouldnt be using a laptop for it speakers bring along some noise canceling headphones (I use my ipod earbuds, and I’m ordering some better ones!) chassis- you shouldnt be ruff with ur laptop anyways (get a good laptop backpack/case/sleeve or something) – Power cord- get over it yah’ baby you shouldnt be putting tension or stepping on it anyhow! trackpad- its suprisingly functional go in to its options and speed it up a bit and its perfect for me. webcam- im sure you can buy a portable webcam if you just need that function I really dont use webcams so no problemo for me.
other then that. you will make every1 jealous!!! hehehe when they get their lame netbook you can laugh as u got twice as powerful machine for less. okay, so I think I’ve made up ur mind by now? if I haven’t then who cares; i thought i should atleast make a couple people aware of this awesome deal muhahaha.
god bless. and forgive for grammar, spelling, and the likes
afterall this is the internet – Nathan out!
This laptop was a steal at 279 but now I see it is back up to 399. I would never buy this laptop for that price because of the processor, etc, but at 279 its awesome. (Its great but for 400 I could buy a way better laptop. But I am happy with this. Every program opens up within 5 seconds, and you can be using your computer at full steam in 1:30 or less. Windows 7 is great! Then again, I am NOT reviewing a 400 laptop, but at 279, it’s spectacular.
My daughter has been looking for a spare small laptop for doing things on other than her desktop, and for school to take notes. Amazon sent me one of there quick deals and I saw this asked her if this might work. We received it a few days later and opened it up, stated it and it was a very nice unit, and for the price it was a great value!
