Endearingly cheap, lots of work to clean up, knock-kneed cute

 

I bought this computer based partially on the 'it's a steal, but...' reviews online, and partially due to Amazon's customers' understandably more mixed takes. I don't exactly need a DVD drive on what is going to be a portable powerhouse, and can make...

Compact, Well Rounded Machine

 

I've had this Laptop for a little over a month so far and couldn't be more happy with it. I migrated from a 13" ASUS so size wise it's the same. This is quite the upgrade though, the i5 is incredibly snappy and the video card is more than sufficient to...

Excellent laptop

 

The laptop is one of the best price vs. value. I've used this laptop for a month and 1/2 now and here are the results:

Powerful, Portable, Affordable.

 

I'll start this review off by saying I probably searched through every 13.3"-14" laptop currently on the market before deciding on this one. I am not a technology expert, so I will try and style this review a bit differently from some of the others up...

Powerful small size laptop

 

It is thin as they advertised, but the weight is a little over my expectation. It is heavy for its size. The cpu is very powerful and the graphics works great! It made a big difference to have a graphic like this.

Aspire 3830TG-6431 running Ubuntu Linux

 

I expect that the sound problem will eventually be fixed. I'm not optimistic about seeing a seamless solution to the Powersmart/Optimus problem. Still, I can usually find a power outlet. For Linux users there are probably better laptops out there...

fast, responsive keyboard, reasonable mouse pad, sharp display, thin and light, nifty looks, Cuda for scientists, runs at 800 MHz most of the time - so it is relatively cool

Running Ubuntu 11.04, there is no sound. This is an already reported bug but as of 8/30/2011 no one has been assigned to fix it afaik. Powersmart is not available on Linux, so the battery provides for only three hours. NVidia Optimus does not work,...

Perfect for the money!

 

It's not a desktop replacement as I think some people want it to be. it is an "ultra portable". I went from an XPS 16 to this laptop. It's so much lighter and very fast. I upgraded to an SSD and 8GB of Ram the day I got it.

700. Small. Can play games. Fast. Awesome battery life ; It's awesome for the price when you compare it to what else is out there. It's one of the more high end mobile gaming cards and it plays everything I want. Great boot times and crazy light...

Nothing I did not expect from a 13 inch laptop. The keyboard flex I read about is not even noticeable for me
