Reviews for the Novatech X16

70% Novatech X16 HD Pro Notebook
Source: Driverheaven Archive.org version
The Novatech X16 may not be the most exciting entry-level notebook available on the market, but overall it is built well and has a reasonable specification for the price. It is subtle in design so will suit both home and workplace environments. Performance was what you would expect from a notebook with this specification - it copes with menial duties well but struggles a little with more demanding tasks and gaming. I'm surprised at how poor the X16's battery life is. In Silent Mode with the Power Saver plan enabled it didn't even manage three hours of usage. This detracts from its appeal in a corporate environment as most users are likely to require at least four hours of battery life.

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.

15.60":

15-16 inch is a standard display size for laptops and offers the biggest variety of products.

2.8 kg:

In former years, this weight was representative for laptops with a 14-16 inch display-diagonal. Nowadays, 17 inch laptops weigh less than that.

Novatech: This British Computershop also sells laptops with its own brand. The marketshare is very low and there don't exist many laptop reviews for Novatech laptops.

70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
