LDLC SPC-I SPC-I3-8-240-W11P

Super portable

Superbly thought-out little laptop:
- it boots extremely quickly, even on battery power (faster than other, much more powerful laptops)
- all the hardware is well recognised and managed by Linux
- the battery holds up surprisingly well: after more than a year of use, I can still use the PC for around 8 hours on battery power alone
- despite the limited RAM, Windows 10 in VirtualBox runs without a hitch
- the touchpad doesn't interfere with typing
- on the touchpad, the middle click is quite 'wide' and feels different to the left/right click (I have another laptop where this isn't the case and I have a lot of trouble using the middle click)
- the whole thing feels quite solid, yet is still very light
- it comes pre-installed with Linux, which is quite rare and appreciated

Of course, there are a few negative points, such as the fact that several keys are missing from the keyboard (even though the size of the keyboard allows for this): the entire right-hand bar of the numeric keypad is missing ("-", "+", "Enter"), as well as a few keys that seem essential to me: "Start", "End", "Page Up", "Page Down", etc.
Soldered RAM is a theoretical problem for the laptop's lifespan, even if there's absolutely no need for it at the moment.

On the other hand, I'm surprised to see that it's no longer available for sale and that there's no replacement, whether it's Windows or Linux, it really was excellent value for money.

Chassis broken after a year and a half

Very poor quality, after a year and a half of use, the pivot mechanism seized up completely, preventing the pc from closing and generating stresses on the chassis that ended up breaking it completely (right in the middle of the power socket...).

The PC is now completely unusable and will end up in the scrap heap, which is a shame for a computer that cost 250 euros.

It still deserves one star, though, because in terms of software, it did a good job and I'm convinced that without the major design problems it suffered from, it could have lasted much longer!

All's well for this price except when it heats up

When there's a more intense task, instead of slowing down, it heats up and slows down. so it's super engoissant when you're doing something important

Weak, no battery, poor charger, fragile

It's all in the title "Weak, lousy battery, mediocre charger, fragile". I had to buy a new charger to keep the beast going a bit longer.

Excellent value for money

A computer at an unbeatable price to help children get their schoolwork done.
The battery lasts all day.

value for money

I bought it just to do office work and it does the job.
It's pretty fast and doesn't get too hot. I'd recommend it.

Laptop PC

The PCs heat up to over 120°C and then shut down because they have no built-in fan. A real disappointment out of the 4 PCs I bought.

Top laptops for our students

An excellent laptop that meets the needs of study: internet research, office automation and leisure activities such as listening to music and watching videos.
I'd recommend it without hesitation: excellent value for money.

Excellent value for money

Although its power leaves a lot to be desired:

- It never heats up
- It makes no noise
- It's lightweight
- It is 100% Linux compatible (tested on Gentoo)
- Excellent autonomy (over 5 hours on Linux)

If I don't give it 5/5, it's because despite its price, the processor is really dated and outdated. But it consumes very little energy. Also, the charger is frankly ridiculous - it's far too short!

In short, for less than 200€, it makes coffee. Even on Gentoo, where I still compile most of the software I use, installing a large package like Firefox will certainly take a few hours (or a whole night) but nothing serious. On other Linux (not tested), it should be much less of a problem.

Note that I asked for the version WITHOUT OS, but I received it on a dated version of Linux Mint. Nothing to worry about and I didn't even have to pay the extra 10€.

I'd recommend it for people on a budget who want a decent PC for office use and a bit of multimedia, but certainly not for games - it's not even worth a try.

not at all satisfied with the product.

Product bought new less than 4 months ago! The touch pad works 1 time out of 3. And jams. The plastic casing does not provide a good grip or ergonomics. The lock button on the touch pad (F2 + FN) doesn't work either. I was asked to carry out several tests on my own, including one with an external mouse that I don't have.
If I send it back, they'll change the touch pad and then send it back to me under ..... 3 weeks or so. Except that my daughter can't stay without a computer with all her homework to do on it for that long.
Unfortunately I exceeded the 14-day cancellation period, as I waited until my teenager's birthday to give it to her... so when I called to return the product for a refund so I could get her another one, I was told no.... Wao what commercialism behind the legality, I do not congratulate you. The polaroid brand for a note book for my 9 year old daughter which had a faulty battery for a new product was reimbursed to me without any problem by them in 3 days, after 2 months of purchase when they could have, like you, kindly "gone behind" the law after the 14 day withdrawal period.
Very disappointed with LDLC. I will never buy from you again and would strongly advise others not to.
