It is the cheaper version screen, as stated previously. However, to correct the poster who said that the 230 version has the same specs, that is not true. The 230 version has the better ips screen, as well as a PCIE SSD (vs M.2 SATA for the 252) and a 2TB SATA HD (vs 1TB for 252). The 230 version also has an MSRP that is $250 more expensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 252 model (the best buy version) is not IPS although it is very hard to tell the difference. The 230 model which is the same specs but with an IPS is about $200 more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I compared the 252 model to the 001 model in store, and sadly the 252 is just as bad, if not worse. The 252 models I tested feature a Chi Mei screen with poor viewing angles and washed out colors. By contrast, the 229 and 230 models have the superior "IPS-Level" screens with great viewing angles and richer colors. The 034 model is an older model, but apparently has a great "IPS-Level" screen as well.
