Packard Bell Easynote MB88-P-003 review

Verdict

An attempt at a 'trendy' laptop seriously backfires: garish looks and mediocre ergonomics hamper this Limited Edition model.

Review Date: 10 Mar 2008

Reviewed By: Mike Jennings

Price when reviewed: (£599 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
3 stars out of 6

But these small positives are cold comfort in the face of the MB88's flaws, which are too numerous to ignore. The white chassis tries hard to be stylish, but ends up looking tacky and garish. The keyboard and trackpad aren't the nicest to use either. Build quality is suspect and that low-end processor hamstrings the laptop's performance. The price might look keen, but there are much better machines available for similar money.
