Klar, 699 Euro sind nicht wenig Geld. Doch für iPhone-Käuferinnen und -Käufer ist der Preis heiß! Denn das iPhone 16e ist kein Ramsch, sondern technisch ordentlich ausgestattet – auch im gesamten iPhone-Vergleich. Es ist das günstigste iPhone für Apple Intelligence – dem starken Apple-Prozessor A18 und ausreichend RAM sei Dank. Und: Der Akku hält länger als bei anderen kleinen iPhones. Wer also ein handliches Apple-Smartphone mit zeitgemäßer Technik und guter Akku-Laufzeit sucht, das auch 2030 noch laufen dürfte, liegt mit dem iPhone 16e richtig.

Für was das „e“ im Namen des iPhone 16e steht, dazu äußerst sich Apple selbst nicht. Es könnte aber für „einfach“ stehen, weil das Smartphone der einfachste und derzeit günstigste Weg zu einem aktuellen iPhone mit aktuellem Prozessor und neuester Apple-Software ist.

Das iPhone 16e verzichtet auf jede Art von Schnickschnack: keine Ultraweitwinkel-Linse, kein MagSafe, keine zentimetergenaue AirTag-Ortung per UWB. Doch punktet es in den Kernfunktionen: Der Akku hält länger als beim iPhone 16 und seinen Vorgängern, der A18-Prozessor ist praktisch genauso stark und macht das kleine 16e fit für Apple Intelligence und viele Jahre kommender Updates. Und: Es ist vergleichsweise günstig.

With the iPhone 16E, Apple has ushered its most affordable iPhone into a new era. Where the old iPhone SEs were compromised devices, the iPhone 16E offers a more thoughtful and modern blend of performance and features – though this all comes with a higher price tag. But to the iPhone 16E’s credit, it has just about everything most people need, and if you have an older iPhone and want to upgrade to a modern iPhone at the lowest possible price, it is not a bad option at all.

Overall, it is a solid phone for people willing to forgo some of the bells and whistles of the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup. From my testing, the biggest sacrifice coming from the iPhone 16 Pro was the loss of the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses and advanced photography and videography features. For mostly everything else, the iPhone 16e can hold its own for a $599 handset.

Even OnePlus has a worthy rival to the most affordable iPhone in its OnePlus 13R ($599.99 at OnePlus). It might not come out as the first pick in your mind, mainly because OnePlus only sells its phones unlocked, but the 13R is essentially a 2024 flagship set up for 2025. It packs Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset under the hood and pairs it with 12GB of RAM — more than any other phone mentioned. OnePlus’s mid-ranger is also the largest at 6.78 inches, packs the fastest wired charging (a very casual 80W), and has a sharp 50MP telephoto sensor for all your zoom needs. Can you tell that Apple’s single-camera setup gets less impressive each time it’s compared to something?

If you’ve never experienced an iPhone before and are upgrading to the iPhone 16e from a simpler phone (smartphone or otherwise), you will enjoy the iPhone 16e. It’s the quintessential Apple smartphone experience at a cheaper price, and it offers everything you probably want. The iPhone 16e is a true battery life champion, and if you value longevity over all else, it’s the iPhone to pick. However, there are better iPhones on the market if you take a lot of photos or need snappier performance. You could buy the iPhone 16 or last year’s iPhone 15 Pro series. These are all priced similarly, and they both have significant advantages over the iPhone 16e. The iPhone 16e is the iPhone to pick if you just want the essentials like a good display, solid performance and great battery life. The e doesn’t mean it’s for everyone, but it’s definitely the right phone for someone.

The iPhone 16e is for people who want an iPhone without dropping over $1,500. I think the purpose of the 16e is to lure people away from the secondhand market and towards getting a new phone with Apple Intelligence. Given the specs and price point, I think it’ll work. This isn’t a budget phone, and it’s not a true replacement for the iPhone SE (given how much less expensive the SE was, but also how behind its features were). But it’s also not supposed to be. This is the phone for people who want an iPhone, with a long warranty and many years of software updates, but don’t want or need all the bells and whistles. For that audience, the iPhone 16e is perfect.

Is the iPhone 16e a fine-enough phone? Yeah, sure. Buy it for yourself, your teenage kid, your parents or grandparents, and I'm sure they'll be more than satisfied. But at $600, I think it's fair to expect a little more from Apple. Any "budget" device — even one as expensive as this — is going to have to make concessions to hit its price point. It's true on Android, and it's true here as well. With the iPhone 16e, Apple prioritized build quality and processor performance over a more robust camera system or power user favorites like MagSafe, Camera Control, and the Dynamic Island. That might fit your lifestyle — or, considering this is Android Police, the lifestyle of the person you're buying this phone for.

At a starting price of Rs 59,900, the iPhone 16e is a good option for those looking to enter the Apple ecosystem. Compared to the iPhone SE or older iPhones, the iPhone 16e offers such users the ability to be current while buying the new phone and stay relevant for a few years given that the phone has mostly the latest features from Apple. In fact, I would suggest that this is a better phone for many people who end up over-investing in the iPhone tag.

On one hand, the iPhone 16e fits more seamlessly into Apple's flagship series than its previous budget model, featuring a similar design, identical hardware, and shared capabilities. On the other hand, Apple has deliberately removed some features, likely to create differentiation and prevent it from being too competitive within the lineup. This effectively turns it into a downgraded iPhone, with a particularly noticeable compromise in the camera department. Additionally, while marketed as a budget-friendly iPhone, it is far from cheap. For Apple loyalists unwilling to consider other brands, another cost-effective option is purchasing the previous model.

Having a single camera is not a big deal as a lot of people can live with it but with sluggish charging speeds along with the lack of MagSafe support and Dynamic Island, it’s hard to get people to adopt this. One would only consider this if they really want to have a brand new iPhone at the lowest price possible or it’s for school kids and retired folks that won’t need much from an iPhone but for me, you’d be much better off saving up a bit more and getting the iPhone 16 instead.

In many ways the iPhone 16e is astonishingly good, delivering superb speed, good battery life, the latest Apple Intelligence features, and an attractive design at an affordable price. And then you bump into the lack of MagSafe and the single rear camera lens. The only word for it is lopsided, and I’m struggling to see who the iPhone 16e is for.

The Apple iPhone 16e is, as I said at the top of this review, Apple’s best value smartphone. Yes, it misses out on some core features, and yes there’s a good choice of Android phones that are better equipped than it. I’d certainly recommend you at least consider the Google Pixel 8a or its impending replacement before laying down your cash. You’ll get a phone with a higher refresh rate display, equally good battery life and a more flexible array of cameras. However, if you’re desperate for an Apple handset, this is a much better bet than the old SE models and offers superior value for money than the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus.

For those who want the best iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro offers flagship features, and the iPhone 16 is a stellar mid-range option. For everyone else, the iPhone 16e is a welcome addition.

The iPhone 16e isn’t an exciting iPhone. Does that matter? Not really. For those who want the best iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro offers flagship features, and the iPhone 16 is a stellar mid-range option. If you’re bemoaning the lack of an ultrawide camera, MagSafe or the Dynamic Island then the iPhone 16e wasn’t ever going to be for you. Spend the extra £200/$200 on the iPhone 16 – you won’t regret it. But for someone coming from the banged-up SE 3 or an iPhone 12 or 13 that feels antiquated with a Lightning port and 12MP camera, then this is a great pick.

Coming back to whom the iPhone 16e makes sense for. Currently, there is a lot of chatter comparing the iPhone 16e with the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro whether the latter is a better investment. And I think the comparison is fair. If you want the flagship experience, then yes, the iPhone 15 may make good sense. With bank offers and discounts, you can get the iPhone 15 at an almost similar price point: for about Rs 60,000. But this comparison is not as simple as it seems. With each of these phones you gain some and you lose some. On the iPhone 15 you get the dynamic island, but otherwise, both the 16e and the iPhone 15 offer a similar display ratio and refresh rate. Then on the iPhone 15, you get the old-fashioned toggle aka mute switch, whereas on the iPhone 16e you get a more modern action button.

When the iPhone 16e was first announced, people questioned why this phone was more expensive than the outgoing SE (3rd generation), but I don’t think that’s the point. The iPhone 16e is a very different beast from the SE. As suggested in the name, this is more of a 16 lite, providing a reduced set of features but still very much part of the current range. What this phone does, it does very well. It feels great in the hand, thanks to the superb build quality, and it's a very pleasing size – both to hold and for the screen. The addition of Face ID, the Action button and the high-resolution screen make it easy to access, while the power of the A18 chip means it’s ready for everything from video editing to gaming.

At a starting price of S$949, the Apple iPhone 16e is priced to entice you into getting a basic iPhone. But if you want more features, the iPhone 16 is a S$350 step up.

The iPhone 16e is a solid smartphone - it offers Apple's iconic design, now made cleaner than ever, durable as always, and, well, just beautiful. The 16e is also one of the most compact and lightweight modern smartphones on the market. And it costs under $799/€800, which translates to affordable in Apple's world. But it is not the next iPhone SE or an iPhone mini successor. This alone would be a big turn-off for many customers (some of our team members included) who were expecting a new mini iPhone even if it wasn't meant to be as affordable as before. The iPhone 16e being a recycled iPhone 13 with scrapped iPhone 16 chips is surely not helping its case, especially at that price.

The iPhone 16e is Apple's most affordable new iPhone, positioned between budget and flagship territory. It offers a minimalist design with some premium touches and ultimately aims to balance accessibility and high-end appeal. However, its place in the lineup feels ambiguous, making it one of Apple's most unusual releases.

Would I buy the iPhone 16e? Definitely not. I don't necessarily need the best of the best all the time, but I'd miss the Dynamic Island and I'm not fond of the sizable bezels. There are other factors, too, like the lack of a higher refresh rate display, and I've grown very fond of playing around with Photographic Styles. I'm clearly not the iPhone 16e's audience, though. This phone is for people that need a new iPhone and are currently on the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, or maybe the iPhone SE, who don't want to shell out the money for the pricey iPhone 16. In fact, I'd argue that the iPhone 16e will actually cannibalize the iPhone 16's sales. It offers all the features that matter to the average person, alongside a cheaper price tag.

Should you spend $100 more, and get the iPhone 15? Again, it's a matter of compromises: a second, ultra-wide camera but an older, A16 Bionic chipset; the useful Dynamic Island, but no Apple Intelligence; MagSafe support, but shorter battery life compared to the iPhone 16e. I can't say I agree with Apple, that the AI is a big enough selling point on its own, and I wish Ultra WideBand — for precise AirTag location — had made it to the 16e's spec sheet. I also think it's far too easy to dismiss these $100 increments, particularly if you're not used to considering things from a strict budgeting perspective.

The iPhone 16e is an incredible value at $599. It’s as fast and future-proof as any modern flagship phone, it takes great photos and it somehow lasts even longer on a charge than the regular iPhone 16 that costs $200 more. If you’re getting your first iPhone, buying one for a kid or upgrading from a really old model — I’m talking iPhone 11 or older — you’ll be absolutely delighted by what this thing does for just shy of 600 bucks. That said, the evolution of Apple’s entry-level phone comes with some growing pains, and it isn’t necessarily the best low-cost iPhone for everyone. Folks who love the smaller 4.7-inch screen and Touch ID button on their iPhone SE will have to either adapt to the modern 6.1-inch iPhone design or cling to their current device for a bit longer.

At the beginning of this review, I called the iPhone 16e a kind of spiritual successor to the iPhone SE. Ultimately, however, that’s a bit of an oversimplification. To be clear, the iPhone 16e is the new “budget iPhone” — but it’s not as budget as the iPhone SE. That’s a bummer, but it also leaves the door open for a fourth-generation iPhone SE, should Apple choose to release one. Some of the trade-offs you make for the cheaper iPhone make sense compared to the iPhone 16. It makes sense to lose a camera and the Camera Control. It makes sense to have a slightly older display. And, it makes sense to have a slightly older design with a notch. Other changes, like the lack of MagSafe, make no sense to me. Apple is all about that ecosystem — and not including MagSafe represents a jarring break in the ecosystem that limits the accessories people can actually use with their phones.

From its announcement, I wasn’t expecting to love the iPhone 16e as much as I do. It’s beautiful, it feels great in the hand, and it seems perfectly modern. I think this will be a great phone to hold down the bottom of the iPhone lineup for years to come. It’s a shame Apple couldn’t sell it at a lower price and left out MagSafe, but at least the latter is easily remedied. Personally, I’m excited for Apple to apply the learnings of the iPhone 16e to its Pro line of phones. Aluminum is so much lighter and feels nicer; stainless steel and titanium were always marketing gimmicks that made the phone heavier and worse. The camera being out of the way in the corner makes it easier to hold. I’m not in the market for a budget phone. But I’m glad that the people who are will be getting something great with the iPhone 16e.

I bought the original iPhone SE because it offered top-notch performance at a fraction of the cost of Apple's flagship. You still get outstanding performance out of the iPhone 16e, but now it costs more to own the cheapest iPhone — and the decision is made tougher knowing that the iPhone 16 offers extra utility for just $200 more. Obviously, everything about the iPhone 16e is much improved over the iPhone SE 2022, but I don’t want to refer to this new model as a value phone because it’s not.

There’s no doubt that the iPhone 16e is a solid phone — it functions well, fits neatly into Apple’s lineup, and brings some impressive features. But the way Apple has priced it makes things tricky. At Rs 59,900, it’s positioned as the most affordable iPhone to support Apple Intelligence, powered by the A18 chip. For anyone deep in Apple’s ecosystem, that’s a big deal. However, Apple has clearly cut some corners to keep it in this price bracket. It lacks multiple rear cameras, Dynamic Island, and some of the premium features found on pricier iPhones. In a market like India, where value-for-money is king, that puts the iPhone 16e in a tough spot. If you’re looking for an iPhone on a budget, this one does the job. But at this price, older iPhone models or even flagship Android phones offer better hardware and versatility, especially if you’re interested in Apple’s ecosystem or Apple Intelligence. If, however, you’re keen on it, it’s a completely different conversation.

Apple’s most affordable iPhone has finally gotten its much-needed update. Not only does it have a more contemporary design and upgraded internals, but it also gets a new name. It’s called the iPhone 16E. You can make your own guesses as to what the “E” stands for, but it’s obvious that Apple wants you to think of it as an extension of the iPhone 16 lineup. Crucially, Apple’s recipe for a cheaper iPhone hasn’t changed: keep the essentials and trim the fat. So in the case of the iPhone 16E, have they taken too much off to lower its price, or have they got the balance right? Let us dig deeper to find out.

The Apple iPhone 16e has everything that the SE models lack. For example, a larger display, long-lasting battery life, a powerful processor, and the latest features. To a certain extent, the phone got to give close competition to last year’s iPhone 15. But it doesn’t mean that the phone didn’t have any flaws. For example, you won’t receive dynamic range photography. The device didn’t have a higher refresh rate, a big camera notch, no dynamic island, and so on. Undoubtedly, this is the most basic phone that Apple released in 2025. But the price point is still quite high. If you can wait for a couple of months, you might notice some price drops. But if you want a phone right now, then consider getting the iPhone 15. It has overall better camera features with a slight downgrade in performance.

The iPhone 16e sees Apple moving its lowest-cost phone upmarket. Priced about midway between the discontinued iPhone SE and the iPhone 16, it isn't the "budget iPhone" many expected. Instead, the iPhone 16e is a capable new entry point that sets the stage for big changes in the iPhone's future. For $599, you get a well-made piece of hardware with strong performance and all the Apple Intelligence features of pricier models. In addition, Apple's C1 modem ensures fast 5G and accurate location services while introducing new efficiencies that contribute to battery life that beats the iPhone 16. As good as the iPhone 16e is, the iPhone 16's faster 5G and Wi-Fi, brighter screen, and feature-rich wide-angle camera give it the edge, so it remains our Editors' Choice as the best iPhone for most buyers.

But for people who don’t use magnetic accessories or who finance their smartphones over a two-year period, those might be non-issues. What bothered me most as I was reviewing the iPhone 16e wasn’t its slow wireless charging speed or the notch atop the display — it was ultimately the solo camera sensor. Anyone coming from the iPhone 11 and up will likely miss the ultrawide option, even if the iPhone 16e’s 48MP sensor is a genuine improvement. Whether the iPhone 16e is a good purchase for you ultimately depends on how much those limitations bother you. If you don’t care about MagSafe, taking photos or the principle that you could save hundreds of dollars on a better Android phone, the iPhone 16e makes sense.

Apple's new iPhone 16e should definitely not be ignored. This is a great smartphone that packs quite a punch for a much cheaper price than its siblings. No, it doesn't get all of the features found on the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro but if things such as Camera Control and MagSafe don't really bother you then this is a solid device to consider. What you do get is a beautifully made phone that is built for the future and the next generation of Apple Intelligence updates. There's no question that the iPhone 16 line-up is now one of the best and most expansive Apple has ever introduced, but it also makes choosing the right model tougher than ever. You can't go wrong with any of these iPhone models and the iPhone 16e's lower price makes it seriously tempting. Just be aware that its lower cost means fewer features. You'll need to decide what really matters to you and what compromises you are prepared to make.

The iPhone 16e marks a big change in direction for Apple. The company does not sell any phones cheaper than $599 right now, making the barrier to entry for its ecosystem a lot higher than before. That said, the iPhone 16e is an excellent phone. It looks good, has all the niceties of a modern iPhone, including a big, OLED display and a modern, 48-megapixel camera. It actually beats other phones in the lineup in several ways; it’s the lightest new iPhone you can buy, and it has excellent battery life. It performs just as well as the iPhone 16, and fully supports Apple Intelligence. It doesn’t have MagSafe, which is a shame, but not everyone will care. Most people who want a no-nonsense iPhone for the least amount of money won’t mind the other omissions, either, such as the lack of Dynamic Island.

Our review of the iPhone 16e is up, and for this video we focused on what reviewer Cherlynn Low considers her biggest concern: the solo rear camera. She took the phone to the Met museum for a little photographic journey through time and compared it to its closest competitor -- the iPhone 16.

Forget the iPhone SE; the iPhone 16e represents a whole new class of affordable iPhone. It has an excellent screen, powerful performance, a cutting-edge CPU with Apple Intelligence, and even an all-new C1 modem chip. It's also a bit of a frustrating conundrum. Apple has raised the price to the point where it's almost out of budget range, but it hasn't added a second camera, and it's brought back the notch. Ultimately, this is another great iPhone – but it may not be the best choice if you're looking for a 'budget' phone.

The iPhone 16e is a really good entry-level iPhone for anyone who is new to the Apple ecosystem or wants to upgrade from an older iPhone model (iPhone 14 or older). It comes with Apple Intelligence, an incredibly long battery life and the A18 chip—making it a future-proof iPhone for the coming years. However, there are also compromises: The lack of MagSafe restricts the use of accessories, the lack of an ultra-wide-angle lens is noticeable in the camera, and savings were made on features such as UWB and Wi-Fi 7. It's also worth taking a look at the iPhone 15, which is often cheaper and doesn't make any compromises in some areas (e.g. display)—but then comes without Apple Intelligence on board. However, if you want the latest Apple features and top battery life, the iPhone 16e is a smart choice—even if you have to make compromises here and there.

This is the world the iPhone 16E enters. It’s Apple’s cheapest phone, but it’s not cheap — probably for the aforementioned “lack of competition” reasons. It’s an iPhone that does iPhone things, but it’s probably missing at least one major feature for any given buyer, whether that’s an extra camera or the convenience of a MagSafe ring. If you’re clinging desperately to an older model and want a new iPhone for the least possible money, the 16E is the one to get.

The new iPhone 16e is now the cheapest new iPhone you can get among the best iPhone options, with the latest A18 processor, Apple Intelligence features, and Apple's new C1 modem. However, it gets a higher $599 starting cost and comparing the iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 16, it doesn't come with features like MagSafe wireless charging and Dynamic Island. In this video, John V. will take you through the key reasons to buy or skip based on his full iPhone 16e review.

In an ideal world, we’d see Apple keep the 16 and the 16e in the lineup for a few years, letting the cost drop a couple hundred dollars to bring back some actual entry-level iPhone pricing with devices that support Apple Intelligence, but it’s too soon to tell. At this point, Apple is aiming to make sure a majority of its products can support AI, and that means we’ll need to wait and see where the prices end up in a few years. The iPhone 16e retails for $899 outright, but it can be bought at a cheaper price from a variety of Canadian carriers. The phone is up for pre-orders and will be fully available on February 28. It comes in black or white.

Getting you to finally upgrade that old iPhone takes more than new AI software. CNET’s Bridget Carey looks at how Apple shifts its strategy for the budget-choice iPhone 16e, how it differs from the iPhone 16, and what it tells you about the next stage of iPhone evolution (it’s all about the battery, baby).

The iPhone 16E is here. The $599 phone joins the iPhone 16 line as Apple's most affordable phone. But it also marks the end of the iPhone SE era, the home button, the Lightning port and a truly small iPhone option.

Despite the gripes, I must say I like the look of the Apple iPhone 16e. Apple has finally updated the design, it has better battery life, a more modern camera, a faster processor, plus more RAM and storage. The only problem is that as well as a massive overhaul, the iPhone 16e is also a lot more expensive than the previous model, with prices starting at £599 for the 128GB phone, rising £100 for the 256GB model and another £100 for the 512GB phone. With rivals such as the Pixel 8a starting at £499, that’s a bit of an ask. We’ll be reviewing the latest addition to the “iPhone family” just as soon as we can get our hands on one, so watch this space to find out if the phone is everything it promises to be.

Apple A18 GPU: Die A18 GPU integriert 5 Kerne, Hardware Raytracing und Mesh Support und positioniert sich zwischen der alten A16 GPU und der schnelleren A17 Pro GPU.
Diese Klasse ist noch durchaus fähig neueste Spiele flüssig darzustellen, nur nicht mehr mit allen Details und in hohen Auflösungen. Besonders anspruchsvolle Spiele laufen nur in minimalen Detailstufen, wodurch die grafische Qualität oft deutlich leidet. Diese Klasse ist nur noch für Gelegenheitsspieler empfehlenswert. Der Stromverbrauch von modernen Grafikkarten in dieser Klasse ist dafür geringer und erlaubt auch bessere Akkulaufzeiten.
» Weitere Informationen gibt es in unserem Notebook-Grafikkartenvergleich und der Benchmarkliste.
A18: Der Apple A18 ist ein moderner Smartphone-SoC welcher 2024 im iPhone 16 und 16 Plus vorgestellt wurde. Der Prozessorteil basiert aus 2 Performance-Kernen mit bis zu 4 GHz und 4 Effizienzkerne. » Weitere Infos gibt es in unserem Prozessorvergleich Vergleich mobiler Prozessoren und der Prozessoren Benchmarkliste .
6.10": Es handelt sich um ein kleines Display-Format für Smartphones. Man sollte nicht stark fehlsichtig sein und man wird wenig Details am Bildschirm sehen und nur eine kleine Auflösung zur Verfügung haben. Dafür sollte das Gerät klein und handlich sein, gut transportierbar.» Prüfen Sie in unserer DPI Liste, welche Displays wie fein aufgelöst sind.

In diese Gewichtsklasse fallen die meisten Smartphones und nur vereinzelt Tablets. Nur wenige Smartphones sind schwerer und eher als Tablets anzusehen.
Apple: Apple ist ein US-amerikanisches Unternehmen, das 1976 von Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak und Ronald Wayne gegründet wurde. Das Unternehmen hat seinen Hauptsitz in Cupertino, Kalifornien, ist bekannt für seine innovativen Produkte wie das iPhone, das iPad, den Mac und die Apple Watch und stellt Computer und Unterhaltungselektronik sowie Betriebssysteme und Anwendungssoftware her. Apple ist auch ein führender Anbieter von Software und Dienstleistungen wie dem App Store, iTunes und iCloud.
Apple hat sich einen Ruf als Unternehmen erworben, das sich auf Design und Benutzerfreundlichkeit konzentriert. Zu ihren Notebooks ist zu sagen, dass sie überwiegend im hochpreisigen Segment angesiedelt sind, ein eigenes Betriebssystem aufweisen, jedoch auch Windows auf den neueren Macbooks läuft.
Apple ist eines der wertvollsten Unternehmen der Welt und hat eine treue Fangemeinde von Kunden und Fans. Das Unternehmen hat auch eine starke Präsenz in der Unterhaltungsindustrie, mit Diensten wie Apple Music und Apple TV+. 2023 hatte Apple einen ungefähren Marktanteil von 8% am weltweiten PC-Absatz und war damit auf Rang 4 nach Lenovo, HP und Dell.
78.78%: Weltbewegend ist diese Bewertung nicht. Diese Bewertung muss man eigentlich als unterdurchschnittlich ansehen, denn es gibt etwa ebenso mehr Geräte mit schlechtere Beurteilungen als Besseren. Eine Kaufempfehlung kann man nur mit viel Wohlwollen darin sehen, es sei denn es handelt sich um Websites, die generell streng urteilen.
