Bad Design

Review Date: August 13, 2009

PRO’s:
- Ambient light sensor — Adjusts the brightness of your screen by how bright your environment is (brighter for daylight, dimmer for darkness).

CON’s:
- Horrible keyboard layout — Del, Home, PgUp, PgDn, and End are clustered in a straight column all the way on the right. You have to read the label on each key before pressing it. Makes navigation a chore. I must have pressed End a hundred times when I meant to press the PgDn key.
- Keys stick — Pressing the spacebar slightly off-center will cause it to not register the keystroke and it squeaks when pressing. The right arrow key needs to be pressed hard. It’s just uncomfortable to use.
- No ’screen off’ key — sometimes I like to turn off the display to conserve battery power without closing the lid. Can’t do it on this laptop.
- Difficult volume controls — The volume up/down, mute, and a few other controls are on a thermal strip above the keyboard that is difficult to use and slow to register. Adjusting the volume is a major pain! I use the speaker icon in the system tray instead.
- Noisy fan — If you’ve ever owned a Dell desktop (especially their home series), you’ll know what I mean when I say it sounds like a jet engine about to take off. It tends to ‘get hot’ over the simplest operations, causing the fan to speed up and make a loud whistling noise.
- Heavy
- Screen resolution is just 1280×800 — should be a lot higher. With realestate-hogging apps (like Office 2007 with its ribbon), 800 lines of vertical resolution is just not enough.

Overall, I would NOT recommend this notebook OR ANY OF ITS SUCCESSORS (since they have pretty much the same physical characteristics). I have owned (i.e. been issued) several laptops ranging from the original Compaqs to IBM ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes. This is by far the worst laptop I’ve worked on. It seems like it was designed by a bunch of desktop users that don’t have to use a laptop.
