Kogan Atlas X1510
The Kogan Atlas X1510 laptop from the Australian online retailer Kogan is a budget friendly model with sufficient hardware capabilities for the day to day task. The laptop is powered by the Intel Pentium N3540 quad core processor clocked at 2.16 GHz. There is no dedicated graphic card hence, graphics are supported by the integrated Intel HD graphics. 4 GB of RAM is sufficient for multitasking under Microsoft Windows 8.1 and moderate gaming is possible. The battery life on this device is rated at about 6 hours as this Intel processor is not highly power consuming. The laptop is well equipped with all the necessary inputs and output ports. There are three USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 port and also a 9 in 1 card reader slot. HDMI and VGA port are found on the edges of this Kogan laptop. The fairly sized 15.6” screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 and its aspect ratio is 16:9 which makes watching movies on the go a pleasure. The stated weight of the laptop is 2.1 kg with the battery plugged in and the height is just 2.4 cm which is relatively portable. Concisely, this Kogan notebook is an inexpensive option for a home laptop or even for students as a first laptop.Specifications

On spec, this remarkably cheap machine seems like great value. A large 15.6in 1366 x 768 screen with a Pentium N3540 2.16GHz quad-core CPU, 500GB 5400 rpm HDD and 4GB of 1333MHz RAM is enough to power any student through the year.

It wasn't long ago that an ultraportable would come with all manner of compromises and cost a fortune. Yet Kogan's $799 UltraSlim Pro is extremely useable and offers great value.

In many ways this is a great foil to the Venom. Both do the same thing to a large extent but the Kogan really highlights Venom's attention to detail on components, build-quality and performance. If you need a no frills powerful laptop then the Venom is the one to buy - although maybe not if you're using it in a school-like environment where its lightweight build-quality will be shown up by regular rough and tumble. However, most people will simply want something light that they can work on easily and the Kogan is great for that and comes at a giveaway price. The battery life isn't great, the speakers are terrible but the days of expecting to pay through the nose for something so very useable at this size are over.

Kogan is an Australian manufacturer-cum-online store that’s all about making cheap and cheerful products. Just recently we were impressed with its curved 4K UHD 55-inch LED LCD TV which offered very good performance for almost half the price of rivals.

It’s really great what Kogan has done with the UltraSlim Pro. Its display, keyboard and included storage are excellent at the AU$799 price point, and its build quality is a definite step above the usage cheap-PC fare.

73.75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
