Advent Verona SU is an ultraportable notebook that offers something for everyone, be it an office goer or a home user, this affordable Advent Verona SU laptop is suitable for people from all walks of life. If you are on a tight budget but need a decent laptop deal, then Advent Verona SU would surely be a great pick for you.
Intel Celeron SU2300 Dual Core Processor
Powered by the Intel Celeron SU2300 Dual Core processor and 2GB DDR2 Ram, this new Advent Verona handles multitasking with ease and speed. The synchronisation of Windows 7 Home Premium and Celeron SU2300 play video and ordinary games seamlessly. Though you shouldn’t expect Verona to perform like a Core 2 Duo or Core i5 laptop but we can assure that the performance of Verona SU is better than many ordinary notebooks.
13.3″ WXGA Widescreen LCD display
The Advent Verona SU sports a 13.3” Widescreen display with LCD technology. With a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, your movies, texts and pictures look fabulous both during indoor or outdoor use. The graphics are handled by the GMA 4500MHD and the screen design is great for both vertical and horizontal viewing.
Webcam and VGA Port
Apart from a decent screen, there is also a 1.3 mega pixel webcam on the front screen panel. The quality of the camera is reasonable and you can enjoy video messaging with friends and family. You can even capture pictures and send them as attachments to your contacts. Thanks to the available VGA port which lets you connect your laptop to any external plasma screen or projector and enjoy videos and presentations on big screens.
Connectivity and Battery Life
Plenty of connectivity features are available including Bluetooth, 3 USB ports, and 4-in-1 memory card. Equipped with a 3-cell Lithium-ion battery, the battery lasts for upto is 3.5 hours which is reasonable but should have been better. However, using the power conserving mode we can improve the battery life to some extent.
Ultra light Weight
One of the most impressive things about Advent Verona is weight. Despite having the qualities of a standard laptop except the screen, it just weighs like a netbook i.e. 1.6kg which lets you carry it around whilst on the move.
The Bottom Line
It is a great laptop for those who seek features of a netbook with a slightly bigger screen and a powerful processor. The Advent Verona performs well in all areas especially processing and portability.
