This 15.4” inch notebook from Connoi is based on the latest Intel Santa Rosa
Platform and comes with 1 GB of RAM and 80 GB HDD. Connoi notebooks have been
bulky and robust when it comes to their build and looks, and this too is no
different. But they have worked on the overall outlook of the notebook and have
improved its design, though they could have still worked on the quality of the
Touchpad and the buttons. Nevertheless this one hosts loads of features, be it
Bluetooth, DVD R/W, or Web Cam, it has all that one can ask for at this price
range. It came preloaded withVista Ultimate.
Performance wise, you can't expect a 43k notebook to outperform any of the
top league players, nonetheless its performance was satisfactory within its
range. A score of 2945 in PC Mark is very good for this range of product, though
it is less than that of Acer TravelMate. It didn't come with any dedicated
graphics processor so the low score in 3D Mark06 is obvious. In Battery Mark4 it
gave a battery backup of about 2.56 hr which is good.
