Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
The Thin + Light has a one-year warranty, which is typical for a consumer PC, regardless of the price.
Though the unit we tested would cost you $1,200 if you were to buy it off Vizio's website, the laptop actually starts at $900, with a Core i3 processor, four gigs of RAM and a 128GB SSD. For $950, you get a Core i5 CPU instead, but otherwise the specs are the same. That means if you want 256GB of storage, the $1,200 Core i7 model is your only option. Regardless of which one you pick, you'll get a 1,600 x 900 screen and Intel's HD 4000 graphics.
It's a similar deal for the 15.6-inch Thin + Light, which starts at $950 and goes up to $1,250. Here, too, there's a Core i3, i5 and i7 configuration, and you'll need to go with the highest-end model to get those 256 gigs of storage. In the case of these 15-inch machines, though, the screen resolution is 1,920 x 1,080, not 1,600 x 900.
A laptop with an all-metal design, SSD and a 1,600 x 900 screen begs comparison with other high-end thin-and-lights, don'tcha think? Spec-wise, at least, the Thin + Light is aggressively priced. Whereas the Core i5 version costs $950, for instance, the ASUS UX31A with a Core i5 CPU and 128GB SSD goes for about $1,100. Still, specs aren't everything, are they? Having tested both laptops, we can say that even though the UX31A also suffers from trackpad issues, it does have a more comfortable keyboard, and also lasts longer on a charge. Meanwhile, the performance is similar, the design is equally sharp and the IPS screen has a higher resolution, so there's an argument to be made that there's an upside to paying $150 more for it.
Ditto for the MacBook Air, which costs $200 more, but offers a superior keyboard, trackpad and battery dell 2941E battery , dell 9943E battery , dell Inspiron 7100 battery , dell Inspiron 7500 battery , dell Inspiron 7000 battery , dell 310-6322 battery , dell D5318 battery , dell G5260 battery , dell G5266 battery , dell Latitude CPi battery life. Sure, the pixel count is 1,440 x 900, but as we've tried to demonstrate, a higher-res screen isn't much consolation when the computer has some serious usability flaws.
We wanted to love Vizio's underdog first laptop, and we did when we first took it out of the box. Despite having never made a PC before, the company managed to put out something truly beautiful, with a sharp screen, solid build quality, fast performance and a completely clean version of Windows. We applaud the implicit challenge to the HPs and Dells of the industry, which have gotten sloppy with some of their designs, and still load up computers with bloatware, thinking consumers won't put up a fight. Unfortunately, though, Vizio still has a good deal to learn about building PCs, and its inexperience shows in the jumpy trackpad, uncomfortable keyboard and wretchedly short battery life. We suspect the company will have plenty of fodder when it returns to the drawing board to plan its next generation of laptops. For now, though, we're hesitant to recommend the Thin + Light series based solely on looks, price or specs -- after all, a $900 MSRP doesn't make this thing any easier to use.
