Digit-Life reviews the daunting but cheap Prestigio Visconte 121 V notebook. Never heard of it? Neither have we, but maybe its worth a look.
Quote from the review at Digit-Life:
“This model should be regarded as a computer for word processing and other business applications (the market sector it is positioned in), and for immediate looking through photos made with a digital camera (probably, with on-the-fly editing) or for connection of other peripherals (USB 2.0 and FireWire). For this type of tasks this notebook is irreplaceable. I didn’t notice quality degradation when working in the Paintshop, the colors were acceptable. That is why it can be a good purchase for photographers as they can take it with them and estimate shots on the spot. By the way, instead of the cable connection they can directly use the card reader.”
Our take: No offense, but nothing about this notebook looks exciting. The Transmeta processor is too slow and the VIA chipset is just plain scary. Add to that an ugly design and you have a recipe for failure. BUT, if cheap is your thing and you want to be a little different, maybe its the laptop for you.
