Most Critical Review

Good PC, Flawed Tech Support

Hannspree Laptop Intel Pentium SU4100 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel GMA 4500MHD 12.1" Windows 7 Home Premium SN12E23BUP212

Pros: Powerful Netbook, Light Weight, Good Battery Life, Decent Build, Plays Blu-Ray, Very good Display

Cons: Keyboard Flex, Non-Existent Tech Support, Fan is a little noisy,

Overall Review: This is a lightweight powerful dual core netbook with good battery life. I bought 2 of these from another seller. Wish I had waited for Newegg to get them. One was perfect, the other had a battery that was going bad. The battery life was only about 2 hours and had a wear index of 15. I was told that 2 hours was normal, that the 6 hours was only valid if the laptop was turned on and not doing anything. I explained that my other laptop lasted almost 6 hours while working. I was told nothing could be done. Sometimes they take 2 weeks to respond to an E-Mail. Good laptop but if you have a problem you are in big trouble. How can a company with tech support like this survive?

Great Case To Build In. Some Caveats

Pros: This case is huge. Much bigger than I had thought. It's very easy to build in. Cable management is good and there is a lot of room. components of my build: NZXT Gold 850 Watt PS, Intel I7-12700, MSI Z690 Tomahawk WIFY, WD Black 1TB SN770 NVME, (2) 16GB Kingston Fury DDR5, Seagate 8tb Hard Drive. Added (2) 120mm fans. One on top and one on the bottom behind the Hard Drive Cage to keep the HD cool.

Cons: The case comes with a fan distribution board which was glued to the case. it had fallen off. (Not Good) I decided not to use it since the MSI motherboard had enough fan connections. I purchased the optional hot swap drive kit. this thing is easy to install but not easy to get to work. I finally left the backplate screws a little loose installed the drives and then evenly tightened the screws after ensuring the drives worked OK. Not a very good design.

Overall Review: The case is nice and easy to build in. It is very large. There is room for lots of fans and an EATX motherboard. It's very quiet. I can't tell when it's running. The fan distribution board is an afterthought and not well designed. The same is true of the Hot Drive swap kit.

Great sounding speaker/ Quality Build

Pros: Sounds Great Quality Build 8 Hours Play Time

Cons: None

Overall Review: This speaker is worth 3 times the cost. I have 2 other Bluetooth speakers that cost over four times more and this speaker sounds better. I am going to buy another.

Great Laptop For Certain Applications

Pros: Beautiful UHD Touch Screen, 256G SSD, 2- 40 g bps Thunderbolt ports, Great Touchpad and Keyboard, Easily used as a Tablet, can be upgraded by the user.

Cons: Poor battery Life, Fixed Screen Position

Overall Review: I'm using this as an entertainment PC. It's hooked to a 4k TV through a 4k yamaha receiver. I bought a Cable Matters dock that has gig ethernet, 4k hdmi port, 2 usb 3.0 ports and a charging port for the laptop. I use it to play movies at 4k and music. It works perfectly in that application. Battery life is about 4 hours. The screen is attached to the keyboard in a fixed position with magnets. If you bought another dock you could carry it back and forth from work and home. For some people the poor battery life and fixed position screen would be a reason not to buy. Dell also has a manual to easily open the the PC and replace the battery or upgrade the SSD. I love it.
