Novatech X20i laptop - anyone got one?

[Legmaster]

Hi there,

Sorry to post yet another laptop thread.

A chum is looking for a Vaio type small & light laptop as she doesn't have the wedge for a Sony. I've done a bit of searching and found this from Novatech. It seems OK, anyone got one and have any feedback? Do you think it's OK for the money? Or any other advice greatfully received

Not got that one, but I've a 'Maverick' (their old bottom end) and a Crossfire (their old high end gaming unit) kicking around. They use Mitac chassis which are very reliable. If it's what your after I'd give it the thumbs up

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Legmaster - did you get it? It's on my shortlist too, my only concern being that I can't see it before I buy, and it's plastic not metal. It might look and feel great, it might look and feel crap - can't tell!

No - chum got a Toshiba or Samsung (can't recall), so can't give any feedback sorry.

Just want to add one thing... The "Magnesium Alloy" chassis of my Dell XPS... it's the cheapest nastiest silver plastic going, personally unless they state the chassis is Alu I wouldn't buy the hype. The Novatech Maverick I've got kicking around feels nicer than the Dell.

I'd got for it... you can always ship it back saying it doesn't work... introduce the HDD to a rubber mallet



Yes... that does actually work.
