Reviews for the Systemax Pursuit 4170

40% Systemax Pursuit 4170 15.4-inch Budget Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Systemax's Pursuit 4170 laptop has one main thing going for it, cost. The system originally was priced at $800 but has dropped down to $600. The problem is that even this low price can't quite save a very bland styled laptop from being overshadowed by offerings from other companies that either give more for the same price or the same for less.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.

15.40":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

Systemax: Systemax, Inc. is an American computer hardware company based in USA which assembles, supports and markets a wide range of personal computers, notebook computers, computer related and industrial products in North America and Europe. The global market share according laptops is low and mainly concentrated to the US-market.

40%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
