Not only does it ship with Linux, It's one of the most powerful 14" laptops available. At first glance, the Alto 3880 will not strike envy into the hearts of any. Like any standard PC laptop, it’s dressed in glossy, molded plastic pieces. The design decisions here are almost certainly OEM driven as the laptop takes a 3-tone neutral color scheme that presents itself in a bit of an awkward way. The lid emulates a brushed metal look with an attractive ZaReason screen-print right in the center. This is the first of a couple nice touches on ZaReason’s behalf.

The brushed metal look for laptop lids is a little dated now, so this will not trend well in the vanity department.

This guy is a little bit of a beefcake, and it feels like a 15.4” laptop even though it’s not. At 14”, it fits comfortably in a lap, and though it’s a little on the hefty side, I wouldn’t call it unwieldy; though this much weight is a little awkward on a unit this size. Considering the specs on this machine, I’m not surprised by its girth, though if I got the basic configuration... Full Story |
