Reception

[edit]

The Apricot was very poorly received. A review by PC Pro in 2009 awarded it two stars, the worst marks of the notebooks on test in the categories of build quality, speaker quality, keyboard and cursor quality, and screen quality, and advised readers to avoid it at all costs.[1] A "first look" review by IT Pro in 2008 also awarded it two stars, calling it unattractive, with a dubious build quality, and all but impossible to type on.[2]
