I don’t even remember the year this laptop was purchased by my father but i assume it must’ve been 2012 or ’13. Anyways, till date it still is working and i daily drive it too. Here’s my review in short:-
CONS (Yeah i will start with disadvantages first)
Poor battery life:- It hardly used to last 3 or 4 hours irrespective of the usage and eventually died. As of now in October 2024, i have to plug it in to use it.
Weight:- I may sound to be yapping but it weights nearly 3kgs compared to others. It probably isn’t the biggest problem being a old laptop but anyways.
Webcam:- Pretty abysmal (one can expect it since it was launched before 2015s)
PROS:-
Performance:- Quite snappy, handles everyday task pretty well. On prolonged usage (6+ hours) it may occasionally heat up.
Display:- Is a TFT LCD panel offering the 1366×768 resolution but trust me, consuming content does feel good in this.
Gaming:- Since it comes with GeForce 410m’e 512mb variant, paired with the 2nd gen i3-2330M, it performs decently on games that can run on the specifications. I’ll recommend to always check the minimum requirements of any game on pcgamebenchmark website with the details filled in and then try.
Although be careful, gaming does kicks it’s fan to the fullest and it heats up real quick...like really.
