Battery life:
Yes yes, forget the constructor characteristics, they always have great promise in terms of autonomy provided to disable wifi, bluetooth, lighting, processor, hard drive ... short in keeping off what.
In real life, a Pentium pump it to death for average performance.
"But we do not care performance." Certainly, too, except that here it means he will first hold 4h then left the boiboite 1h after one year for an ultraportable, is not acceptable.
In addition, with the intel M coming, good luck to resell your machine later saying that the processor has two generations behind ...
CONCLUSION:
Yes, the screen colors are extremely attractive, especially as the price and possible operating positions.
But to be been there before, "" 6am "" autonomy, never again. Pentium is over guys, have to do with the idea.
Even reimbursed for 400 and 100 (the price I got) it does not seem a great deal, given that resale seems almost impossible.
For my part, turned, I let myself perhaps tempted by the i3 13-inch ...
Linux Bonus:
Oh and for the geeks among you, Linux is above the wound. Simple installation has caused in me:
- Battery Sensor HS
- - On cordless after a full charge, it shows me 0% battery for a few moments before dying. I am not an expert in computer batteries, but I'm pretty sure this is not normal.
- Autonomy 2h
- - Here we spoke precisely
- Random bugs
- - Left and right arrow keys are deactivated, for example quite boring for grub
- Kernel panic.
We can discuss my computer skills later, but I was almost certain to have followed a recognized procedure for installing and added packages that were supposed to "solve" these problems.
