I ordered this laptop because I wanted a Linux system for my 10-year-old daughter's return to school in 2024/2025. It's great for office use, really reliable and fluid. She and I are delighted. I'd recommend it.
Very good quality and service..........
............................................................
Bought in a hurry to replace a 13-year-old gamer laptop that had given up the ghost.
Positive points - it's the only one:
- Quiet
Negative points in spades:
- Wi-Fi card from another era, maximum speed 120 Kb/s, my old PC with its antique Wi-Fi card reached 50 Mb/s.... Wi-Fi taken from the phone then shared via usb on the PC, and now I'm getting decent speeds, thank goodness in the BIOS you can disable the Wi-Fi bluetooth module.
- Catastrophic thermal management: simply zipping up a 100 MB archive causes the PC to rise to 90°C and shut down abruptly, which is great for your peripherals, which can be cut off at any time, killing them in no time.
The PC shuts down when you're really doing 2 things at once (surfing the net with only one tab open, listening to music via vlc), never seen that on a Linux...
However, in the BIOS I've selected the Max Battery profile but that doesn't change anything.
- SSD from Foresee, unknown brand, new PC, but SSD with already THAT 96% of life left according to smart data, after only a 24 hour purchase, my 9 year old SSD still has 97% of life left!
You can smell the SSD going down the drain.
Even for light use, very light even, it's still a lunar disaster, and as it was picked up in a shop, it's impossible to retract, so 200€ are going to rot away at the bottom of the cellar.
It's even too expensive for what it is, this PC....
Even using my Debian Linux XFCE, which is lighter than this linux mint cinnamon, I have the same comments to make.
Where even less powerful PCs (AMD sempron 3000+) fared better!
Very good PC.
Very quiet as there are no fans.
I like the 12v power supply, which is much more practical for recharging in the car.
Very nice little laptop bought for my mum. The design is very clean and very high quality.
The Linux Mint inside is customised in LDLC colours and, at first glance, everything works very well!
The partitioning is very clean by default, with only a 512 MB EFI partition and everything else for the system, so no wasted space.
Responsive, fine design, inexpensive, ultra-fast delivery, it's 10/10 for now!
