EXPERT REVIEW

The Zenith Presidio is a super compact Business Notebook that offers portability of a Netbook with the power of a Notebook. We had reviewed a similar solution from Lenovo a while back called the G230. Though it was a very good Notebook, the price was a bit high for most people.

However, one thing you should remember is that 12.1-inch screens are always more expensive compared to 14.1-inch screens, while 15.4-inchers are the cheapest, which is why there are so many solutions in the range of around 35K.

The Zenith Presidio costs a lot less compared to the Lenovo, which had a 12.1-inch screen too. But before you get too excited, there is a very good reason for the lower price, which we'll look at in this review.

The Zenith Presidio looks a lot like the Dell Vostro on the inside and has a very basic no-frill design. I'm glad though that there isn't a hint of gloss on the inside making it easier to maintain.
