HARDWARE

In this range price: unbeatable. It is what I expected.

OS

If you don't like Win 8, create a logical partition to install Win 7 in a dual boot setup. Just look for how to prepare a UEFI Boot USB.

EXTRAS

Do you need VGA Output? I bought this adapter, but amazon warehouse shipped to me one not active, but it works:

Honest reviews on Dell Inspiron 13z i13Z-3636sLV 13.3-Inch Laptop (Moon Silver)

I bought this for $400. I don't think you can probably do much better than this for the price. It's very light and has pretty solid build quality. Very thin.

I'm an IT guy and I often carry this instead of my work laptop on trips because its lighter and boots nearly instantly when an additional mSATA card, which isn't included, is installed in the mSATA slot and Windows is installed directly to it. I highly recommend techies adding an mSATA card as it will make this perform like a $700+ laptop.

First of all, I have used a lot of laptops professionally, dissassembled many laptops so many times.

Fujitsu siemens

Asus A6jc

Asus G73jh A2

Dell Latýtude E6410

Packard bell NAV05

Acer 54series

These are my previous and current laptops. But only this one has stupidly placed hardwares and cheap palmrest (case) whose nails were broken in the first hdd replacement trial. Then while right corner nail which hold keybord was also damaged and keyboard is making noise during pressing top right corner letters.

If you want to buy this and just use. Do not dissassemble to replace RAM or any of the hardwares, especially harddisk.

This is my dissapointment.

When you look at the performance, laptop is doing good job with W8 and 128 V300 SSD (yes, I broke the nails but managed to swap to SSD). Startup is around 6-8 seconds.

WEI

CPU 6.5

RAM 7.2

VGA1 5.1

VGA2 6.3

HDD 7.9

If I don't destroy laptop physically, I am planning to use it for a long time due to its performance.

Edit: Additions

Battery life seems good. Wifi is on, brightness is @max and couple of episodes are downloaded and watched during cycle. It lasts around 5 hours.

It comes with 1 month McAfee and Office 365 subscription.

CPU fan isn't starting working till CPU is overloaded since CPU is consuming only 17watts. Therefore it is very quite. Even the fan is working, it is working slower than usual.

I didn't see any heat issue. Only the section where fan sits is heating slightly but it is difficult to feel from keyboard.

For these positive reasons, I have changed rate to 4 stars.
