Santech LV1 is low voltage and low fat, but not low price
August 31st, 2009
Santech might not be the most familiar name around here, but the company has a bit of history in the mobile field, and its latest 13.3-inch effort definitely merits a second look. Coming in under that magical mental barrier of an inch in thickness and sporting an Intel CULV processor, it’s slinky and (just) powerful enough to be called an ultraportable. Add in a claimed 12 hours of battery life, and the LV1 would seem like a viable competitor to Acer’s Timeline series, but it falters on pricing, which — once you add the 8-cell battery to the base unit of a SU3500 1.4GHz CPU, 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD — is €701 ($1,003) after taxes, or €100 more than an almost identical Aspire 3810T from Acer.
