Ei System 3103

That's good and decent laptop but If the battery died on the pity ,so you better check with more options. If you are looking more options suggestions for the laptop means check this link hope it would be useful for your reference. laptopinc。{{COM }}。au

the e-system ei3103 is a good laptop although if you own it you should upgrade it with 2gb ddr2 ramm with 533mhz bus speed n then the processor this machine comes with a 530 celeron processor with 1.83ghz a very slow processor.i replaced it with 2.0ghz t7200 c2d with 4mb cache thankx to the motherboard with intel chipset gma945 that support this kind of havey processor n there r no heating problem with this laptop coz it has intel graphics.screen size is very good crystal 15.4

My advice, is not to sell this system, but also not to ever buy one.

If you're on a very low budget and, like me, can get a free one off of your brother's friend who knows nothing about computers and therefore believes it is bricked, go ahead, it's got a nice screen :)

However, if you already own one, buy some quirk of fate,

Do the following:

Copy the Folder "Driver CD" found in "C:/Applications/Drivers" to a memory stick or CD

Download XP drivers for the LAN, WLAN, VGA and Audio (as the ones included on the disc for these items only work under vista)

Upgrade your ram

and Downgrade to windows xp

after all this, the laptop should be fairly usable, if not incredibly oddly configured.

Oh, and using Google Chrome instead of Internet explorer doesn't hurt.

This was a cheap laptop and you get exactly what you pay for. Screen is fab but nothing else is. My battery doesnt charge, it wouldnt work with vista. Much faster with windows 7 professional but has now slowed down and de frag doesnt and hasnt ever worked. very good laptop for a child's 1st laptop but not very good if you have actual proper work to do. My advice save up your money and buy a laptop with a better processor.

Okay, the Ei System 3103. I do not actually own this laptop thankfully. That pleasure is my sisters, but i've had extensive experience (every time I see her) of trying to eek out a little more performance from this god foresaken machine. Before she bought it I had never heard of Ei System, and i've been building pc's for more years than I care to remember.

The problem is, as has been stated by other reviewers, that it comes with only 512mb of ram installed, and running Vista. Saying that this is 'not quite enough for vista' is the understatement of the century. Running is the wrong word for what it does with Vista, it is PAINFULLY slow, vitually unusable. Starting up takes ages, and due to the low amount of ram the hard drive just thrashes away for ages, in which time you literally cannot do anything with it, just walk away and make a cup of tea... Even after startup the hard drive gets used way too much, again slowing everything down.

It may be cheap, but it's pretty ugly if we're being honest, battery life is poor, it's heavy, and why oh why do these manufacturers insist on releasing machines that are not capable of running the operating system installed on it? Do they not test them? It's unfair as the very people who buy them will be pretty clueless regarding pc hardware, and are taken in by the stickers with a long list of meaningless specifications printed on them.

So to conclude, learn the difference between MEMORY, and STORAGE, that will keep you out of trouble for a start, and stay away from cheap laptops running Vista, it's a false economy, especially with bricks such as the Ei 3103.

stupid laptop! Its so messed up, everything bout it screems mess, well not everything...but its a stupid laptop

when i brought my e-system ei3103 it did what i needed it to,ran quick enough etc etc,but it has only got 512mb ram,i did a scan and found you can install an extra 2gb of ram that transforms the machine,it will not take any more than 2gb of ram due to chip set.

I have this Ei System 3103 laptop, its my first one, battery life sucks, the fan is really loud it frequently breaks and needs rebooting a lot.

The Ei System 3103 is a great laptop which if you upgrade it, it works out to be a very cheap laptop for a fairly fast pc. The max ram you can upgrade it to I can find is 2GB. Very good laptop for the price. Only bad point is the speed, but this can be upgraded. But the fan is a little noisey, but please keep in mind you do have to keep a check of the cleaning of the laptop.

Well I purchased this laptop from the Curry's website about 6 months ago now, and it is possibly the worst laptop on their site (apart from the other clearance laptops). So far the charger has broken for no apparent reason and the mouse has stopped working altogether. Okay, the display is brilliant for a laptop from this price range, but apart from that I do not recommend the Ei System 3103.

I mean how is Windows Vista expected to run on 512mb ram? It's nearly impossible! It's one of those laptops which you are tempted to buy because it's cheap, but have to keep buying stuff for so that it keeps running smoothly. Really wish I'd never bought it, and saved and bought something more decent.
