Revealing the Treasure in the box
Nimo N153 will arrive at your doorstep packaged with care and securely placed in a box emblazoned with the ever appealing Logo design, inscripted with an encouraging message plus a well-placed name of the brand to add zest to the packaging.
On opening the box, you immediately notice how well stored the laptop is done. It is expertly cradled in shock-absorbing, anti-static foam material to prevent any form of electrostatic interference as well as damage in case of an accidental drop as you receive and unpack your entertainment workhouse.
You get the Nimo N153 laptop wrapped in a translucent material, the most important manuals and a smaller box that houses your accessories.
Opening the accessories box reveals the amazing charging brick which we shall talk about soon, and all purpose Type – C PD Adapter, and cable.
Putting the manuals and accessories aside, let us unwrap the notebook computer and get the first impressions of it.
This comes in silver and in case you would like to have different colours, there are red, scintillating ocean blue, and gray options apart from silver.
Lifting it up, you notice how lightweight it is due to its pretty slim design language ( 0.76-inch profile) perfectly suitable to be carried around while going to classes or day to day commute. It is a promise of productivity whether you are on the move or not.
Opening the lid, you get a well covered keyboard most likely to avoid any particles from settling on the soft keyboard.

Verdict
After using the Nimo N153 for normal office workloads such as spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations, there was no doubt left on the performance of the PC because there was no lag, no hanging or any signs that pointed to lower performance . The pre-installed Windows Home Operating System handled applications without much trouble and due to the sufficient 16GB worth of RAM, it could handle multiple applications in a rejoinder of class.
The 15.6 inches of screen affords ample space for bigger images on screen making the user to avoid squinting. The crisp resolution made moving pictures as clear as possible for the supported formats because it struggled to load heavier files like 4K.
For the gamers and heavy users, Nimo N153 will struggle at lower compute specifications but excel very well at RAM with 16GB and above.
