The Look of the Laptop
If what you ask is the look of it, I would say that it has nice, cool look on it with it being in black. To be honest, it is pretty simple in its design. However, you won’t need very attractive-looking one if you are only going to use it at home, right? We don’t own laptop just for show after all. In respect of that, you can take its simple design as positive thing about it. Being simple is not always a bad thing. It won’t attract too much attention. If your chosen laptop happens to be the luxurious-looking one, can you guarantee its safety from thieves?
What about its dimensions then? As for that, its dimensions are 1 x 97.0 x 13.60 inches. With that size, you can still get 14-inch screen size. It is a nice size for such laptop. Furthermore, with those dimensions, this laptop is still known for being the lightweight type. Why not? It weighs for 4.4 pounds after all. Now then, what do you think about it? It would be light, thin, and small enough to be easily carried, stored, and moved. Although you might not moving it around that much, it still has nice capability to consider just in case you are going to move it around, bring it along, etc. outside.

Even in this affordable, home-use laptop, its operating system is already Windows 8.1. Isn’t it more than what you might have expected before?
