Reviews for the ZTE Blade L3
Source: Gadgetspeak Archive.org version
Although the Blade L3 felt comfortable in the hand, it did have a tendency to slip and slide if not gripped firmly or when it was placed on a sloping surface. The unit’s screen was reasonably responsive to touch and gestures but did suffer a little from finger smears although not as much as some handsets I have used.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

70%: 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.
