If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Apple design team's collective boots must be soaked in a puddle of ViewSonic saliva. That's because the company's 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro is heavily influenced -- to put it mildly -- by the MacBook Pro. The ViewSonic ViewBook Pro is a decent laptop and a viable travel companion. You'll undoubtedly get laughed at for buying a cheap rip-off of an Apple MacBook Pro though.
If there are two phrases that sum up what is most desirable in the notebook universe at present, they would be "ultra-slim" and "low voltage", reflecting a fast-paced, eco-conscious business world where portability and battery longevity are paramount. ViewSonic's bold venture into the ultra-slim notebook market delivers an elegant package with a bright widescreen, useful swap-out DVD drive and extra security features but is let down by an unresponsive touchpad and spongy keyboard.
ViewSonic's ViewBook Pro one of the rare ultraportable laptops to have a built-in optical drive along with a competitive price — it costs only $1349. The ViewSonic ViewBook Pro is one of the few affordable ultraslim laptops to have a built-in DVD burner. It's a nifty little unit for business users and students, and it's very light. It felt a little bit sluggish during normal usage, but benchmarks scores showed it to be on par with other notebooks in its class.
An impressive and feature-packed laptop, ideal for the frequent traveller. Although much of its inspiration seems to be lifted from Apple and Toshiba, the ViewBook Pro is a pleasing portable. Its great screen, mobility and features make it ideal for the frequent traveller and an impressive, if a little uninspired, addition to the CULV market.
We've already seen the HP Envy 15 take inspiration from Apple, but it seems there's always room for more at the Cupertino school of design. If you need a second machine to take on your travels and it must include an optical drive, then the ViewBook won't disappoint. But we're still more tempted by the 2.18kg Samsung Q320, which has substantially more grunt when you need it.
