Editor note: This English review is an original adaptation based on source material from Notebook-Center.ru.
Overview
Prestigio Smartbook 141S is a budget 14.1-inch laptop aimed at students, school use, and simple office work. The hardware is modest, with an Intel Celeron N3350, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of built-in storage, so expectations should stay focused on light daily tasks. The main attraction is the display: this low-cost model offers a matte Full HD IPS panel, which is unusual in this price class.

Design and Build
The source highlights a slim metal chassis in blue with contrasting silver edges, which helps this model look more refined than many basic budget notebooks. Thin display bezels also improve the visual impression. At 1.4 kg and 13 mm thick, the laptop stays easy to carry, though the display cover is not described as especially rigid.
Display, Audio, and Webcam
The 14.1-inch IPS screen is the strongest point here. Full HD resolution and wide viewing angles make the laptop more comfortable for documents, web use, and video than many low-cost alternatives. The matte finish helps reduce glare, although it also lowers perceived brightness somewhat. Speaker quality is basic, with limited volume and weak bass, and the 0.3 MP webcam is only suitable for simple video calls.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The island-style keyboard is described as comfortable for regular work, with a firm base, short key travel, and enough spacing to reduce accidental presses. Full-size keys, including the arrow keys, are another practical advantage for a low-price device. The large clickpad gives plenty of surface area, but its touch response is only average and may show occasional delays.
Performance
Performance is clearly entry-level. The dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 and Intel HD Graphics 500 are meant for text work, web browsing, and other lightweight everyday tasks rather than demanding software or serious gaming. The 3 GB memory capacity and 32 GB internal storage also limit multitasking and local file space, although the source notes that an SSD slot is available for a larger drive.
Ports, Connectivity, and Battery
Despite the thin profile, the laptop includes two full-size USB 3.0 ports, plus Micro-HDMI, microSD expansion, and a combined audio jack. Wireless features are standard for this class, with Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0. The 5000 mAh battery, together with the low-power platform, should be enough for a full day away from a power outlet in light use according to the source assessment.
Verdict
Prestigio Smartbook 141S is best for buyers who need a very affordable laptop for study, office basics, and daily web tasks. Its main strengths are the metal design, practical Full HD IPS display, and decent portability. The main compromise is limited performance, memory, storage, and multimedia quality, so it is a sensible choice only for simple workloads.
