The one who follows the situation in the notebook market in the last three or four years, he knows that LG and had delivered their laptops to us. Then this direction has been curtailed – to compete on a par with the leading players in the market was very difficult. But then they went away to return later. In the middle of 2011, LG renews this direction.
Given the large number of budget laptops on the market in a price range 400-500 dollars, it becomes clear that LG will not be easy. Although LG, apparently, in this segment of the fight even not going to. LG P430 Laptop is aimed primarily at middle and higher classes.

design and ergonomics

Shape LG P430 can not be called brilliant or provocative, but rather to moderate and orderly. No quite controversial and is clearly unnecessary “frills”, no modernist solutions to the construction itself – only verified, proven proportions. It is not excluded that, as for an image, image P430 overly modest, but call it a lack of language does not turn – it is rather a characteristic.
Due to the thin frame okantovyvayuschey screen in standard housing 13-inch laptop managed to establish a matrix 14-inch diagonal. Therefore, the novelty is comparable in weight and size with 13-inch models.
On the preservation of the matrix can not particularly worried – at least cover and very thin, but it is made of metal. Doubt its strength performance and reliability does not arise. Lid hinges to the body and even made of plastic, they are securely fixed its position, and the opening angle is rather large and amounts to about 120 degrees.
Aluminum cover cap pleasant to the touch as polished using a diamond cutter.
fingerprints on the cover of almost no remains. In short the build quality you can rate this as “excellent».
Next set of connectors – at the right edge are two USB version 2. and plug the power supply adapter, on the left – Connectors connect audiogarnitury, another USB 2., HDMI and VGA, RJ-45 adapter. Such an alignment of both models is close to optimal. On the front edge of the notebook communication connectors available. The only possible negative – the absence in the present model of USB ports revision 3. Which is now equipped with a device of this class.
Technique laptop speaks for itself. This notebook is oriented mainly for entertainment, which, of course, does not prevent use it as a workhorse. The keypad is made of the so-called island of technology, the keys do not flex when pressed.
The cooling system is designed so that the heated air in the work assigned to the left side, as well as used in the manufacture of very powerful and modern components, problems with cooling and heat is not observed noticeable.
