Ask any male and you’ll be told that that there are quite a few similarities between women and computers. I need to be careful what I say here for fear of upsetting large swathes of the population, but one of the comments I have heard is: A woman is like a computer in that she costs more than you thought it would, and will not do exactly what you want it to.
Well, I knew it would come to this and sadly, after four weeks, my relationship with the G71V is about to end. I have a new found respect for the folks who write reviews day-in and day-out as this has been an interesting journey to ensure that every aspect of a potentially large investment is covered to ensure the reader makes a wise and informed buying decision.
Enjoying the summer? I know I am, and what better way to enjoy the heat than relaxing in the garden with friends, barbecuing and enjoying the odd ice cold drink or three.
I decided to take a look at a few of the features unique to the G71V and that remove a lot of the tinkering needed to set up the machine to your own requirements.
Having used the G71V daily for a number of weeks now, I thought I would take a look at some of the cooler features of the notebook, starting with the software.
I received a question from a reader to an earlier blog I wrote, “What would you say about the price compare to features, is this an outstanding deal or just good for what you spend?”
I finally relented and decided to allow the rest of the family to have a go on the G71V to get their opinions and the results were both amusing and an indictment on what I would imagine is generic PC use around the country.
A laptop is any portable computer small enough to be carried about and although the G71V is just a shade under 4kgs in weight, it is hardly cumbersome. So I decided to check how portable it was and took it along to a sales meeting I was attending. The Republic of Gamers backpack is cavernous and took all my gear, folders, books and accessories easily. It is also extremely comfortable when worn and it doesn’t slip off your shoulder unlike some other bags I have used.
