    The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

    Please replace the screen! Got pros: 4 Gb/128 Gb ssd Weight like a feather. The performance is good, the ssd drive is fast, the processor is fast enough. 5 hours works in economy mode if you watch video. Download in less than a minute. No brakes seen. The design is simply awesome - smooth rounded edges, only black and white. Has some cons Screen! It spoils everything. Simply disgusting - no amount of contrast and color adjustment can achieve normal photo colors and text readability at the same…

    Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

    Very happy with the purchase. The laptop was taken as a travel laptop and met all expectations. Just in case, I'll clarify the characteristics: model 3162-5761, Pentium N3710 (1.6GHz, in fact the frequency adjusts automatically in the range from 480MHz to 2.5GHz), 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, white case, Ubuntu pre-installed). Now about why there was a disclaimer. First of all, I demolished Ubuntu and installed Debian Stretch. I saw laptops with similar characteristics under Windows 10 from friends…

    Pros
    • Disclaimer: Pay attention to the comments, 1 and 6 may be OS dependent. 1. Battery life (about 6-7 hours with typing and minimal network usage). You can take it with you for a day and not think about where to look for an outlet. 2. Weight. In a backpack, it feels like a notebook or a thin book, it is convenient to read while holding the laptop on its weight. 3. Build quality. Nothing backlash and does not creak. It can be seen that the model is not from the premium segment, but this does not affect the quality. 4. The case is not easily soiled, there are no scratches in two months of use, although I cannot be called a very careful user. 5. Silent (until you start typing) thanks to passive cooling and an SSD. 6. Nimble. I use it for the web, typing, sometimes for programming. There are no brakes. 7. Price (took for ~ 18.5k).
    Cons
    • 1. Indication. There are not enough LEDs to display charging status, fn-lock and the like. 2. For a long time I could not get used to the power button. 3. The keyboard is a little smaller than we would like. However, something larger simply will not fit into the case. 4. Due to passive cooling, you may not notice overheating. I cured it by monitoring the temperature in the panel, I did not see any heating above 52 degrees. Typically, the temperature ranges from 27 to 46 degrees.

    I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

    Unfortunately, I can’t evaluate the speed of work, since I immediately demolished Win10 and installed openSUSE 42.2 KDE. As a result - FullHD shows, while the processor load is 80-90%, the desktop effects are smooth, all this in Linux of course. The performance is enough for the Internet and multimedia, for this the computer was bought. Of course, 2Gb of memory is not enough, but in this model it is removable and can be increased (in some laptops, the memory is soldered on the motherboard). The

    Pros
    • Beautiful color (I have red), compact size (small but comfortable), comfortable island-style keyboard (smaller than standard, but those who used netbooks before will be happy), passive cooling, anti-glare screen, ideal for installing Linux, very good sound for such a small child.
    Cons
    • For the price, there are no cons.

    Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

    The manufacturers, by preinstalling this cute but brainless kid, who looks stubbornly reminiscent of the Eve robot from the Wall-E cartoon, Windows 10, have done themselves a disservice, because they don’t pull. It didn't seem to be that noticeable in the store. But then. I cursed like a shoemaker and cursed myself with the last words for having shrugged at the Mac, which was occupied with all my thoughts, and bought this misunderstanding - an economy option, because it turned on for 15…

    Pros
    • Design, battery, size, not heated.
    Cons
    • Performance

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

    This is a typical net-book - don't expect much performance from it. The processor is "cold" - no fan needed, keeps the battery for a long time. Under Windows - "not driving, but fidgeting". Under Linux, the device is quite good. KDE - quite acceptable, XFCE - flies (for those who don't know, Linux has various builds: "light" ones - which work even on computers from the 90s, and heavier ones - with a developed graphical shell). There is a hardware enable/disable of wireless communication, but…

    Pros
    • matte screen, economical processor, no fan - does not heat up, light weight, ergonomic keyboard, nice overall design
    Cons
    • A weak processor is a price to pay for low power consumption. There is no hardware indication of Wi-Fi and BT on / off (this is very serious inconvenience!)

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

    0) Performance! A dual-core Pentium laptop has more performance than this netbook. That is, you will watch FHD video in 10 GB with periodic jerks and lags. You will sometimes swear when loading a normal page in Chrome. 1) The keyboard is deprived of the "context menu" button, set to Right Ctrl and works through FN. 2) In the reviews they write that during disassembly it was revealed that RAM and ROM are not replaceable. That means no upgrades. My verdict is a beech for a kerchief, Word…

    Pros
    • • Very neat design • Quite a pleasant sound of the speakers (loud enough) • Smooth and not rigid course of loops • Capacious battery (hours 6-7 drags) •USB 3.0 • The minimum set of software, did not have to clean up later as with Sony • Convenient location of connectors • Comfortable keyboard (with a caveat in the comments) • Matte display with adequate color reproduction, backlight and viewing angle • There is a slot for opening the lid with your finger (no need to pick with your fingernail as in some)
    Cons
    • • Pre-installed Win10 (once in a few days clogs all memory and traffic with ates) • 32 GB is certainly not enough. But you can score an SD card (micro) by 64 and it will become easier • Low performance. I will write below

    No complaints, I recommend to buy.

    The main advantages, as I said earlier, are a pleasant appearance, a high-quality case, dimensions, weight and operating time - enough for a full working day. The display is controversial - matte and does not glare, but the colors are far from ideal and it is noticeable that the display is cheap. In general, I can say that the laptop will suit you if you need a cheap hiking option that does not take up much space in your bag and you are ready to accept that this is not a "top-end hardware" and…

    Pros
    • 1. Really beautiful laptop with a design reminiscent of MacBooks when they were in plastic, but, surprisingly, the quality of the Dell case is higher (changed this MacBook to this Dell) 2. The keyboard is also better from Dell, the key travel is pleasant 3. Good, big touchpad 4. The presence of 2 USB (one 3.0), a full-fledged HDMI and a MicroSD card reader 5. Weight 6. Working time
    Cons
    • 1. Performance "out of the box": 2GB of RAM is clearly not enough for 64bit Windows, it was almost immediately replaced with 8GB, now the weak link is the HDD, it should be replaced with an SSD 2. The screen could be better

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

    One of my friends asked me to deal with this laptop. The configuration is extremely unbalanced. Why is there Win10 x64? Under it, at least 8GB is needed, and 2GB is no further than Win7. The autoload included a menagerie that sawed the disc in black. Solution: - a new memory module DDR3L 4Gb 1600MHz - 2350. - replacement of HDD with SSD 240GB - 5720. Total: 8070. - as well as removing a dozen extra progs. Result: OS boots in 40 seconds! Everything just flies. Otherwise, this thing is only for…

    Pros
    • - Compact, - not black, like everywhere else, but blue, - light enough for a beech, - pretty decent screen.
    Cons
    • Performance below the plinth, alas! Win10 x64 cold boot time with 2GB RAM, HDD is about 5-7 minutes. At the same time, the HDD cannot calm down for a long time, something is thrashing, in the result of clicking on the browser - there is no answer. Second, third. After 10 minutes, 3 copies of the browser pop up. Which is very tight. It is impossible to work normally with such a beech! Weaknesses: memory, too heavy AXIS, hard drive can't handle swaps. There aren't any light bulbs. What he does is unknown.

    The product is worse than ever, disappointed with the purchase.

    Do not buy this rubbish under any circumstances. This is not a product, but a scam. You will waste time and money trying to get it back. The manufacturer deliberately worsened all the parameters of the netbook in order to discourage users from looking for cheap working laptops. Memory - only one channel, will not work in dual-channel mode. upgrading to at least the minimum 8 GB required for win10 is impossible. The disk is a poor ten-year-old Toshiba - independent replacement with ssd is…

    Pros
    • Build quality
    Cons
    • Performance

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

    I took the version with HDD (500 GB) and a slightly more powerful N3060 processor. Unfortunately, in this configuration they sell only with Windows 10. I didn’t have the patience to wait for Windows to load (it probably took an hour to load when I first turned it on), so I loaded Linux from a USB flash drive, reset the first few sectors of the hard disk and installed Debian 9 from scratch with LXDE (comparatively modern, stable and resource-friendly desktop environment). Wi-Fi in Linux earned…

    Pros
    • not expensive; compact and relatively light; matte screen; relatively good keyboard (there are Ins, Fn in place, comfortable keys); tolerable touchpad (if you set up gestures); there is a choice of colors for fashionistas; does not make noise and does not heat up; loud noise
    Cons
    • of the LED indicators, there is only "Caps Lock" (power, hard disk, num / scroll lock - no); the battery is not removable; the case is "licked", but there is not a pleasant sharp edge, the laptop cannot be opened with one hand; low system performance will not suit everyone; no Ethernet port, card reader for MicroSDxx only; arrow keys are small

    There are pros and cons, think before buying.

    Claims only to the keyboard and not very long battery life. Otherwise, it suits me completely. With its pros. Very beautiful (I have a red one). The speakers are wonderful, 2-2.5 times stronger than the Acer Aspire, with which I had to constantly sit in the headphones. Does not heat up! Generally! Acer could only be placed on a book, directly on your knees - impossible. With its cons. The keyboard is terrible! 3 just because of this! I specifically took a diagonal of 11.6, because on such…

    The quality is worse than I have ever seen, a complete disappointment

    I don’t understand why initially set Windu 10 to zero if it doesn’t pull it at all. I changed the HDD to an SSD, installed Linux - it got a little better, but still the speed of work leaves much to be desired. I especially want to note the keyboard, it's just squalor. Pressing either does not work, then vice versa - they are duplicated. For a person using the blind ten-finger dialing method, this is just a nightmare.

    Pros
    • Price.
    Cons
    • Well. it works. almost.
