i-LIFE laptops

[Ockie]

Howzit. Was just wondering. Any of you guys bought one of these laptops? I saw them at Game this weekend and they seem rather nice actually. Quality seems very good for the price and I really like the look of them.

Bump, did anyone buy one of these?

Came across it this morning when someone asked me about it. The specs don't look all that bad when I compared it with other notebooks for R5k.

1080p 15.6" and a (low clocked) i3 is better than the 14" Celerons at the same price.

I also see there's the Rectron branded 1 with an SSD but lower res screen for 5.2k

Bought this laptop...you get what you pay for,, should have taken a Lenovo.

The bios settings are fantastic. It doesn't even seem like the bios is for the same laptop

You should replace the spinning HDD with an SSD, that will change things for the better.

Thanks for the feedback but this doesn't tell us much.

What exactly is wrong with it?

OMW!!! DONT BUY ILIFE!!!!
Bought a Zed Air X 15.6 inch corei3.
Worst buy ever, the screen to keypad joining has springs instead of hinges, very plastic and flimsy, got stuck and side panels cracked, couldn't close laptop.
The charging ports, usb ports etc also cracked all within 6 months.
The entire thing just fell apart!!!
Battery life is terrible, fully charged you lucky to get an hours battery life.
Bought it at Game, no returns or take backs only fixing warranty.

Software was ok..but whats the point when the hardware falls apart.

Man if you managed to break all the hinges and the ports on a plastic ilife, kinda glad you dont use a fancy plastic model or aluminium/magnesium chassis.. would cry in a day that the thing is horrible too

Cheap koop is kak koop, ever heard of that ? Set your expectations according to what you pay.
