Review of Coda 3.4 14" i3 core laptop (new) from Laptops Direct
Price & delivery fine, however, it was a day later than indicated. Not a cause for complaint for me. Disappointed that Laptops Direct advertised this unit as a Windows 10 unit but when I tried to download non-Microsoft apps - not possible and kept getting redirected to Microsoft App store. Previous research revealed that Windows 10 S mode ( (S) is critical) is a cut-down, or light OS which will allow Microsoft only apps from their store- a bit naughty LD. It should have this info on website spec. and description. I passed over other brand's units because they were S mode units. That said, I did manage to change the Coda to Win home Pro from its settings and can now use non Microsoft apps - so a "get out of jail card", there. Performance to date is good but screen could be a bit brighter. It's on max already... acceptable for now. Hope it doesn't dim in a year or two's time. Build quality is just about okay for price point but feels a bit cheap in keyboard and trackpad area. Boots up quick as it has an SSD drive. Battery Life running only max 4 hours from full charge. Received a business intro email same day from LD. I asked for a reply on something but have heard nothing back in a week. I decided not to contact LD over these matters but due to issues felt only 3 stars for review.
