Size comparison to Acer Aspire V3-471G (Acer 14 inch laptop)

Added on January 4, 2013, 3:55 pmGood thing about this laptop

- Compared to ultrabook (which get rid of many of the ports), I find this illegear R-11 (Clevo W110ER) has all the ports that I need and the area where the ports are located is just nice. You got 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port (for power off mode charging your handphone perhaps), VGA port (to connect to projector to conduct presentation), HDMI port, headphone jack and microphone jack.

- First of all, do not compare this to an ultrabook as ultrabook is meant to sacrifice performance (at least gaming performance) for portability where probably you don't get any fans or vent on the ultrabook. Believe me, you won't be able to find much choices for laptop with this size (11.6 inch). Perfect for bringing it around while able to enjoy some gaming.

- Customizable, that is why I got the matte screen. smile.gif


Bad part (Like I said, I'm quite genuine when I'm giving review)

- Small right shift key (I think I need some time to get used to it XD). Suppose the laptop still have more space to accomodate the keyboard so that the buttons won't need to be shrinked that much. Look at the 12 inch Thinkpad and Alienware M11X, you will know what I mean.

- No backlit keyboard (Well, might be something particular to someone but to me, size of the laptop still comes first)

Something which I personally don't consider it as bad feature
- Plain design. I think for business traveller like me who doesn't want to seek attention, this is a pronton running on ferrari engine.


That's all folks. Hopefully you have an idea how small this laptop is. smile.gif
Personally and overall I'm quite satisfied with the laptop because it offers both portability and gaming capability smile.gif

Thanks for the review man notworthy.gif
The R-11 looks almost as large as the M11x (chassis around 13") hmm.gif

And I like the plain design, especially without the logo~~

Hi Bro tongue.gif .
Photos are the same laugh.gif . No point re-posting it. The different is only I already removed all the stickers. So basically just plain old note book. My brother call it portable garbage LOL. I don't care. It beat my previous M11x R3 on so many levels. Surprisingly is not that hot after almost 2 months downloading without turn it off. Glad to bump into you bro. Thanks again and again for recommending me this lethal and deadly weapon notworthy.gif
