  5.0/5

  Display reflection? What display reflection!? There is no display reflection! Even a bright light directed straight at the screen, will not bother the users both indoors and outdoors. This computer thus provides for ideal viewing in both an office/home context, and when lying at the beach while watching your favourite movie.

The sound quality of this laptop is average compared to other notebooks. Although these internal speakers are adequate for easy listening, you should not count on them for a fun movie night with friends.

This trackpad helps you in quickly adjusting to your new computer

The battery provides for up to 3 hours working away from a power source, if the energy saving mode is enabled, and the brightness is set to the minimum.

It might as well occupy too much space for convenient use in cafes or airplanes.

The noise emitted by the fan, the hard drive or the CD drive will be enough to make you and your surroundings shut the laptop down. Be it in noisy or quiet environment, the noise of this computer will be noticeable and quite unpleasant for most users.

The laptop gets too hot most of the time. Most reviewers found that even at normal room temperature, the notebook gets hot quickly and you are in danger of burning your legs and fingers. It is best to use the laptop only on a desk, even when you are just surfing online.
