Surprising was the laptop then already Tuesday, so here all the best.
Then when unpacking I noticed positively that are of the specified 4.9 kilos at least 1-2 packaging, so will also be the new laptop has moved significantly beyond expectations. For this purpose it is surprisingly flat.
The next step was the first launch. As you might expect has 7 took a little configuring Windos, but that's normal.
This brings us already to the first point of criticism:
Although it has its own version of Windows 7, but unfortunately no DVD where she is also on it. It must laboriously a backup to be created (blank DVDs are but doing). In itself not bad, but are just a bit so that people you know about his frustrated. You can install Windows 7 not just as you want them to, without mitzuinstallieren least a dozen meaningless utilities. Only after first start running in Task Manager already 72 (!) Operations in the background.
Well well, so first remove manure everything and cleared of the nearly 30 GB already occupied memory than a third again. Drüberlaufen benchmark, and noted: It all boils down to is pointed. No interruptions in the hardware, the whole promised memory really exists. Good Thing.
So next to the layout:
- The screen is glossy, I prefer matte, abe now well it works and it also can be seen all unless in direct sunlight sitting.
- The frame is through the clear coat on the inside unfortunately very fingerprint prone, so a microfiber cloth should always be at hand when one pays.
- 3 USB 2.0 ports are a little bit. For me they were already in a very short time occupied (mouse, printer, USB stick). In addition, through the arrangement on the side of the connected cables may conflict somewhat with the mouse (2 right, 1 left). A solution with connectors on the back I would welcome.
- The keyboard is quite hard at the ready, so you have to tap sometimes been gently but firmly, so that no letters are missing. It also has a number pad, although it fits well with 17 inches on the keyboard, but for people who are not accustomed him (like me) can lead to frustration. Positive noticed the large distance between the keys, which allows sometimes to me here but the dirt herauszbekommen of in the course of a laptop life so accumulates (Who ever a persistent crumbs under a button had know what I mean).
The charging cable is serving without hesitation, however, it belongs rather to the thin variety tyring quite fast at vielmaligem lug around.
For battery life I can not say anything, I have not tried yet. However comes with 6-cell battery a little mick Erlich for such a large 17.3-inch laptop in front. Time will tell.
All in all, not to exceed the equipment of the laptop for the price. Only for the poor solution with the operating system (Recovery instead of original) and the few ports (which also are in the way then) there is a star deduction.
