Emachines 732 - a laptop for your money
A laptop is a thing more popular than a personal computer. Because you can carry a laptop with you.
A laptop for a gamer is a real thing. A laptop for a businessman is a clear thing.
A laptop for mom is an incomprehensible thing.
I will try to tell you about one of the applicants for this role.

The question of the brand for the average man, and therefore the buyer - is always important. Here, for example, VolksWagen is a famous brand. And Bentley or Rolls Royce is an elite brand. In the world of information technology, everything is the same: there are mainstream manufacturers (for example, the ASUS brand), and there are “elite” (they are usually accustomed to sony, apple, alienware.
If we highlight in the automotive industry, say, the middle segment in terms of quality and price (cheaper cars for less money), then we will get Skoda, Hyundai, KIA. In the field of notebooks, this brand will be the Acer brand, or rather, Emachines.
By the way, although on the Russian market, Emachines laptops have come recently, the company’s story began in 1998. In 2004, the company was bought by Gateway, and later by Acer, which brought the brand to our market. And brought at very tasty prices. But not very tasty laptops. Why? For many factors: the materials were cheaper, the decoration of the case was simpler, the design (despite the fact that the cases were from the "older" brothers - acer aspire and acer extensa) did not cause any positive emotions. These were cheap, understandable laptops "for those who do not need expensive."
Gradually, over three years, Emachines notebooks began to develop style. Rather, take it from Packard Bell and Acer. Configurations also became different. There are netbooks, laptops with large screens, laptops with discrete graphics cards - everything is like a big company.
But the approach of the buyer and even the seller - remained at the level "for those who do not need expensive."
Before us is a 15.6 inch entry level laptop. 15.6 is the most common diagonal of the laptop at the present time. On the one hand, this display is enough to comfortably watch movies, edit documents, view photos and not peer, and on the other hand, the laptop is not huge, not heavy and can be carried with you. Display resolution 1366 * 786 pixels. Not much, but not enough for the usual, again, the user.
In the laptop, in spite of the price, components of the 2010 model line were used (core i3 processor, ddr3 memory, intel HD video chip).
Externally, the laptop is very similar to Acer, Packard Bell, Asus (N series). But he is matt. Not completely, unfortunately, the display and display frame - gloss, with emerging prints and scratches in minutes.
Textured cover is pleasant to the touch. There is no “cheap plastic” in the case materials. It is collected enough qualitatively and soundly.
Keyboard - "floating" keys. The stroke is soft, the buttons are of standard size, there is a digital block (that is, a full keyboard). Arrows, however, smallish. But I'm used to it. You can live.
Touchpad - supporting multitouch and gestures. The buttons are combined with one key (swing). Click nicely. Confident and distinct.
There is a card reader format SD / MMC (the most popular card format, anyway).
The laptop has everything the user needs: 3 USB ports (yes, 2.0), HDMI port (of course, FullHD resolution output is supported, but fullHD content will slow down - because of graphics from intel), a recording drive, a webcam.
The perfect laptop for mom, wife, grandfather - is not it? All that is needed and without overpaying for the brand.
Mom comes home, opens a laptop, reads news on Yandex, writes to her friends on Vkontakte, checks mail, communicates with friends on Skype, downloads a new series of Dr. House, connects a laptop to a TV and watches. Think impossible? Yes, like two fingers on the asphalt!
By the way, I completely forgot to say that this laptop does not come with windows. But this is another article of savings. Ubuntu got up like a native, everything started and rustled. What is not a laptop for fans of free software? exactly! it's him!
Yes, I almost forgot about the actual price;)

Display
Before us is a 15.6 inch entry level laptop. 15.6 is the most common diagonal of the laptop at the present time. On the one hand, this display is enough to comfortably watch movies, edit documents, view photos and not peer, and on the other hand, the laptop is not huge, not heavy and can be carried with you. Display resolution 1366 * 786 pixels. Not much, but not enough for the usual, again, the user.
Filling
In the laptop, in spite of the price, components of the 2010 model line were used (core i3 processor, ddr3 memory, intel HD video chip).
Externally, the laptop is very similar to Acer, Packard Bell, Asus (N series). But he is matt. Not completely, unfortunately, the display and display frame - gloss, with emerging prints and scratches in minutes.
Materials
Textured cover is pleasant to the touch. There is no “cheap plastic” in the case materials. It is collected enough qualitatively and soundly.
Facilities
Keyboard - "floating" keys. The stroke is soft, the buttons are of standard size, there is a digital block (that is, a full keyboard). Arrows, however, smallish. But I'm used to it. You can live.
Touchpad - supporting multitouch and gestures. The buttons are combined with one key (swing). Click nicely. Confident and distinct.

For whom?
The perfect laptop for mom, wife, grandfather - is not it? All that is needed and without overpaying for the brand.
Mom comes home, opens a laptop, reads news on Yandex, writes to her friends on Vkontakte, checks mail, communicates with friends on Skype, downloads a new series of Dr. House, connects a laptop to a TV and watches. Think impossible? Yes, like two fingers on the asphalt!
Reset price!
By the way, I completely forgot to say that this laptop does not come with windows. But this is another article of savings. Ubuntu got up like a native, everything started and rustled. What is not a laptop for fans of free software? exactly! it's him!
