Revainrating 4 out of 5

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

We are talking about this part number: 81D1009JRU Black (Intel Celeron N4000 1.1 GHz/4096Mb/500Gb/Intel HD Graphics/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Cam/15.6/1920x1080/DOS) In general, I am satisfied with the purchase. Of inexpensive laptops (purchased for 15400), this one is probably one of the most balanced due to a normal matrix and a fairly powerful processor. It has a passive cooling system. It's hard to attribute it to pros or cons, but need to be taken into account. It is unlikely to play on it, overheating will make itself felt. In operation, the passive cooling system behaves normally, tactile heating is not felt. Temperatures above 60 degrees have not yet been observed. If you change the HDD to an SSD, then the laptop will turn out to be completely silent. For me, it's wild that the computer turns on without starting the fans and still scares me a little) However, it may be useful for lovers of silence.

Pros
  • Performance. It is really enough to work in the office, browser, mail, etc. Although the processor is declared as 1.1 GHz, but in operation it practically does not fall below 2 GHz, that is, it is constantly overclocked. Therefore, the machine behaves quite adequately. Screen. Full HD screen with sufficient viewing angles. There are not enough stars from the sky, but it does not cause any hard negative. Keyboard. Normal keyboard, comfortable to type. There is no gloss anywhere. Convenient diodes on caps lock, us lock and power button. You can see when they are active.
Cons
  • Frame. Yes, it looks good, but if you look closely, you can see that the plastic is very cheap and fragile. It is easy to damage it when opening it, so be careful. Camera. I have never seen such a lousy camera in a laptop. She, of course, is enough for communication, but she is terrible. Parsing complexity. On the first day, I replaced the HDD with an SSD. But in order to do this, I had to download the technical manual and watch the video on YouTube. The case is disassembled with great difficulty. The hard drive is in the "case" and is pulled out of it in a non-obvious way. The touchpad driver seems to be non-standard. One version of dozens picked it up immediately during installation, the second - only after rolling the drivers. This scared me a lot, because I thought that after parsing, something in it was damaged. Therefore, if the touchpad does not work for you at first, do not be alarmed, it's all about the drivers. Power button. I can't stand it when the power button is the same as the other buttons on the keyboard. Here it is located in a normal place and the risk of accidentally hitting it is minimal, but still. 2 usb ports side by side. Unpleasant, but not critical. A flash drive and a mouse can be inserted, provided that the flash drive is of standard size. If some kind of tricky one (like mine, in the form of a skull), then there may be problems.
