Prestigio Visconte 121 V notebook review

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.
