Packard bell EasyNote TE69KB

For Christmas this year what I got was a Packard bell EasyNote TE69KB laptop from PCWorld. The specifications that this laptop has are as followed:

·         AMD quad core A4 processor

·         6gb of RAM

·         750gb hard drive

·         DVD/DVD writer

·         HD webcam

·         64bit windows 8 operating system

To be honest I am not the biggest fan of the windows 8 operating system, I don’t like it that much as it is trying to turn it in to a phone. Saying this there was something that I am amazed by which is the power and the speed. The one thing which I do like about windows 8 is the start up speed and how it runs quickly by adding the 6gb of RAM this system has is even better because it means that it also runs smoothly.

The price that I paid for this was £350 which was good for what it has. The reason why I got this was because I set myself a budget of £360 and for this price they were mainly 4gb of RAM and 500gb hard drive. Most of them had better processors with Intel i3, but I got a lower end processor that still does what I need it for but with better RAM and hard drive. In terms of price this laptop is rather reasonable, I’m sure you can get a custom built laptop that will be better for the cost but this is good for a named brand.

The design of this laptop is very smart and tidy with a matt black finish around the screen.

In order for me to test the ability of the laptop I installed two games to find out how it copes under pressure and what its frame rate is like.

The first game which I tried to run was Minecraft. When playing it I was not getting any lag or delay but the frame rate would only stick around 40 FPS where on my desktop I would be getting over 100.

The other game which I tried was League of Legends which played really smooth and sat around the cap of 60FPS this is good because I managed to run it on the high graphic settings.

So based on this it is a really smooth machine which is perfect for every day work but isn’t designed for gaming. Although it has got the potential to play games such as League of Legends so long as you do not push it too far. 

So for the cost of this laptop this is a great machine. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a high powered laptop for every day use.
