Packard Bell EasyNote E3240 (XP 2400 +, 512MB, 40GB, Combo, 15 "TFT, WXP Home)

Bought why and how?
The price was one of the reasons why I bought it. Because I have an acceptable price (300, -) him. Able to buy from a previous owner
This gentleman was also the first owner of the device. Always been careful to use the laptop and looked then also picobello out! Got there's also a WiFi PCMCIA card and a new battery by allowing him against it may be some years back. Featureset The capabilities of the laptop are reasonable , but the is also a model of the year 2005, which of course you can not expect too much . He has short, the following features




CD-RW / DVD combo drive
56k modem duhh8) 7
10/100Mbit LAN NIC duhh 7
4-in-1 card reader
4 USB 1.1 ports
Flashy not very great, but sufficient for normal " office use ", such as school and work.
downside is the lack of a built-in wifi network 802.11b (11Mbit) would have been enough for me already , so I have to use a PCMCIA card use .
Windows XP Home is delivered by default, and fits nicely on the performance of the system. performance thanks to the Athlon XP-M 2400 + CPU still very neat to use with Windows XP. What browsing, chatting and listening to music at the same time is not really a difficult job for him. Unlike that you do not expect modern 3d games to play. laptop That will not happen en with an Intel graphics card that uses shared memory. Before that, I personally see a solid PC also convenient . Finally, I find it unfortunate that the laptop is PC2100 (266MHz) memory running, where the overall performance still little suffer. Personally I would have preferred it had 1GB of memory to compensate for this problem. bit Build quality and robustness However, a point where the laptop goes into the fog! The laptop is not much use, and yet the keyboard starts to go slightly loose . Also the hinges do not look promising. If I here and there a little push on the plastic, feels it is not very firmly. It is my view, therefore, important in a decent laptop this laptop a seat which is a bit firm. Shame! Ergonomics The following losrakend keyboard, the keys are still responding fine and type the pretty tasty. Also the touch pad remains in good condition, and hardly wears. Very pleasant to work with! Beautiful plus tip! Heat and noise Well, laptops are well once warm with that small size. After several hours chatting enthusiastically, browsing and listening to music is also very nice warm there at the bottom . The fan jumps on time or at full speed to give. Things fresh air in warm stays happy, because I've never burned to me. Sonically, the laptop fairly quiet (except for the times when the fan is blowing full blast ). Too bad that the sound some noise and squealing sound comes when the hard drive activity shows. Shame! mobility and battery life because I bought the laptop with a new battery, I do not know exactly the condition of these. During the time that I use it ( 3 months or so) the condition is not hardly deteriorated. etc. What browsing on Windows XP, the laptop battery with its plus minus 2.5 hours full. So neat! Because of the relatively small size (15 inches), the laptop is easy to transport. Price Still always check in at Pricewatch. Got it for 300, - 2ehands able to buy. Not too expensive so. Conclusion Overall a nice laptop it! Functions are very nice for a model from the year 2005 . size is fine for mobile use, not too big but not too small. For me, therefore no pre widescreen for watching movies especially since I do use DVD player ! Still nice that the laptop has a DVD player for the times you do a film like look, or want to read data. DVD Moreover, the performance is good for multimedia use, such as an external TV card or DVD. in a sentence for me a laptop with enough performance for normal use in Windows XP, on the road and at home
