| ptiemann's Full Review: NEC Versa LX VL390 (VL390A6A-0100A0) PC Notebook |
It's a fine computer, especially if you use an external monitor.
The only problem is that the whole series of VersaXX computers easily crashes as soon as you move the display e.g. to adjust the angle.
This happens usually a few times a day when you travel, e.g. on a plan even unwanted.
I am not the only one who experienced this problem. The whole company where I worked was equipped with notebooks from NEC. About 70 programmers. I estimate that 65 of them had this problem. The others probably worked with a regular desktop machine.
Many of the notebooks were shipped to NEC to get the display cable fixed and in fact, it seemed to be better afterwards, but only for a few weeks.
Then they would crash (freeze) again.
I rate it as "Difficult to use" because I really did not like it for the reason described above.
Needless to say, my employer meanwhile switched to buy from another manufacturer.
