M.video: a full-fledged laptop with Windows Vista is cheaper than 10 000 rubles?

Notebook price tags a la 9 990r. No one is surprised anymore - at the moment there are at least 3 models of laptops available in Russia for this, and even slightly less money. However, the reason for this post was that it was not a netbook - a baby with reduced dimensions and functions, it was a completely solid piece of hardware, with a 15.4-inch screen, a DVD-combo drive, a hard disk and ... yes, Windows Vista.

UPD : Habraludi, minus karma, please, at least write in the comments, for what it is done. I didn’t have a task to c # someone in the soul with this topic ...

UPD2 : Under the cat the sensations of purchase and the results of a small test.

Here you can personally verify the veracity of the above, moreover - to issue a purchase (delivery, at least within the Moscow Ring Road, is free).

It is quite obvious that for such money you will not get anything extraordinary in terms of performance, this is a budget solution, which, however, satisfies most of the parameters of modern laptops in the mass segment. The only flaw discovered by me is the lack of a PCMCIA slot - sadly, but in the age of the kingdom USB 2.0 is, of course, non-lethal.

What can you say about the brand of the laptop - eMachines? For some, this may give rise to doubts - is the machine reliable? My opinion is this: in our time, the brand has practically ceased to serve as a quality mark - how many cases have there been with mass reviews of products of famous manufacturers - the same Sony, HP? The current situation with Apple is indicative - a lot of problems are found in the Iphone 3G (hangs, network signal loss). In the era of contract manufacturing, no one is immune from mass marriage, and it makes sense to look at the brand of goods solely from the standpoint of the status of the purchase. Reliability is determined solely by studying the conditions of warranty and post-warranty service. Something like this.

Placed an order on Saturday promised to deliver. According to the results of the preliminary study (I will compare it with my own, not so new Samsung R40) I will write it down here in the comments. Then he goes to the service of one of my parents ...

So , delivered, unpacked, turned on. I like everything in principle - I got what I expected. I compared the performance with my other typewriters (http://www.passmark.com), so:

MSI Wind U90 (XP)
CPU Mark: 191.6
2D Graphics Mark: 123.1
Memory Mark: 171.2
Disk Mark: 277.4
3D Graphics Mark: 68.2
Overall rating: 163.4

eMachines (Vista)
CPU Mark: 583.1
2D Graphics Mark: 193.5
Memory Mark: 426
Disk Mark: 283.7
3D Graphics Mark: no score, one of the tests did not start, apparently there is no support for a particular version of the shaders. Visual sensation rendering speed at the level of MSI Wind.
Overall rating: 317.9

Samsung R40 (XP) - was purchased 2 years ago for 27 000 rub. Core Duo 1,6 Ghz, Radeon X200, 1Gb RAM, 60Gb HDD.
CPU Mark: 776.5
2D Graphics Mark: 85,7
Memory Mark: 194.7
Disk Mark: 227.1
3D Graphics Mark: 5.8 (monstrous brakes, whereas the 3D picture in the test on the other two laptops is absolutely smooth)
Overall rating: 350.8 (bypassed only thanks to the dual core Core Duo, for all other indicators the gap is terrible).

So, if everything is clear with a netbook, then, in fact, parity with a large laptop of two years ago with a price of $ 1000 is quite an excellent indicator. Feels like - for office work and video viewing (up to HD-ready) the car is just perfect. Even for 3D-games (a la Counter Strike or HL2) should be quite enough. Progress does not stand still, and it is pleasant that the budget segment ceases to be limited to used equipment.
