Perfect Beginner Laptop

Our daughter should get a laptop for Christmas. Criteria were:
- Cheap price
- Not too small screen and keyboard
- Good display
- DVD drive
This laptop has met all the criteria and was still in the flash range, that was slammed shut.

Appearance:
Much high-gloss plastic, a real fingerprint magnet. (For the price no metal was to be expected)
Elegant, rounded shapes.
Highly luminous display.
For a full German keyboard with separate numeric keypad.
Large, easy-to-use touch pad (still have a wireless mouse drangehängt).
Enough connections.

Functional testing:
After booting one was led by the commissioning. Also for Win7 users no problem. WLAN was found quickly. Then first updates have been loaded.
Installing OpenOffice and the favorite games of my daughter no problem.
To set the mail program had to be applied necessarily a Microsoft account. Annoying, but HP can not.
DVDs have been played with the supplied software.
The battery lasted for a full charge loose by 4-5 hours.

Result:
Not allerschnellste but neat. For the required functions - internet research, papers write, play Star Stable (Online RPG for horse loving girls) and Minecraft, from and to play a DVD - perfectly adequate. An ideal entry-level laptop for middle school students or people who just surf the net, write emails and down and not want to play graphics-heavy game to a.

Value for money in my view, absolutely great!

Addendum: The weight of 6kg in the article description is of course nonsense, the laptop is even more easily!

Even 's Addendum: The Sims 3 is running smoothly, you just have the resolution in the options to 16: 9 switch, because the graphics card is not recognized.
