misleading advert

May 21, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: runs ok on XP Pro
Cons: not 1.8kg
Opinion:
i got the brochure for joybook series and recently bought the S31VW (white), having the 1.73 Core Duo processor and 512MB RAM with 80G hard disk (NOT core2duo 1.6 as on this page). The brochure printed 1.8kg weight quoting all the specs, with an asterisk (*) for the 1.8kg, where it stated * means its dependent on configuration. I asked many suppliers of the joybook in vaiours stores, they all (as I recall) said its 1.8kg WITH battery. WHen I got it back home, its actually 2.1++ kg with the battery!!. the battery itself is 300+ grams. THe notebook w/o the battery is 1.8++kg. So, what is a notebook with no battery? Its misleading!
