Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, it is huge. Which is good, I think. The screen is incredibly crisp. A bit too reflective, but excellent for indoors use. The HDD led and the WiFi led are a bit too bright for me, so I placed color tape on them, now they don't bother me as much. Finding a laptop backpack was a pain for this monster, and I ordered the Toshiba backpack from Amazon, which was the largest backpack I could find, but it just barely fit in. It would have been a better idea to ship this laptop with a backpack or a bag. The sound of the speakers is great when typical laptop sound is considered, but it is not the best I have ever listened to. Keyboard is nice and firm, does not bounce. Two touchpads on the two sides are a nice touch, especially not having a touchpad right in the middle of the laptop is more comfortable than I thought. It is sort of like reaching out for the mouse. In sum, the advantages are:
- best bang for the buck although not cheap,
- the looks
- the screen is wonderfully sharp,
- the speakers are much better than any other laptop I have ever seen,
- the i7 is wonderful,
- the graphics card is one of the best you can get in a laptop,
- the power this laptop packs is fantastic,
- runs amazingly cool,
- the high speed usb ports,
- the touchpads
The disadvantages are
- preinstalled junk software that is not needed at all,
- bluetooth problems that were corrected simply by first upgrading and then uninstalling the wireless/bluetooth Widcomm software (let the operating system do it!)
- DO NOT attempt to uninstall the WiFi/bluetooth software without upgrading it first, or you may lose all or part of your programs! (just google for "Widcomm uninstall wipes" and see for yourself).
- I wish the speakers were removable, so that the laptop could be easier to pack.
- screen should have been a bit more glossy.
- I am not sure if I can unscrew the cover at the bottom of the laptop and reach for a HDD or install more ram, because I can't see any screws under the laptop!
Well, my 2 cents on NX90...
