either I'm Josh Kalu's seeing it and this is a look at the Vizio CT 15 tb1 still best known for its TVs Vizio entered the PC market more than a year ago with the goal of creating affordable computers that still looked good and for the most part that's what you get with the b1 the anodized aluminum unibody construction not only looks great but gives it a very solid feel though it's travel weight exceeds five pounds so while it's very thin it's not all that light it is very clean looking outside though ports are minimal you won't even find an SD card reader inside is nice and clean to the 1080p IPS touch panel is excellent for work and play with wide viewing angles the keyboard isn't the island style kind we've seen the most of lately so if that's what you're used to it might take some time to adjust the touchpad is big and responsive or at least more responsive than their last generation but the software support is lacking so again if you're used to having a lot of multi-touch gestures available or even just palm check to prevent accidentally opening the windows 8 charm bar you might be disappointed also considering it's more than a thousand dollars the keyboard should be backlit but it's not inside the case you'll find a 3rd gen intel core i7 quad-core processor eight gigs of memory 256 gig SSD and integrated graphics the combo performs very well for all but graphics intensive things so playing newer games at high settings isn't something you want to do but it had no problem with playback of high bitrate full HD movies if battery life is important to you the Vizio ran for seven hours on our video drain test which is great and you should be able to push past that mark for less intensive tasks all in all a very nice laptop it just needs a little more polish I'm Josh Coleman and that's the Vizio CT 15 b1
