This is a good quality device that seems firm with dominant black color and a couple of silver details. Bigger part of front surface has nice piano finish with dominant Prestigio logo. Lower front section is reserved for LED power indicators and round function button. On the other side you can find ON/OFF switch, USB port, I/O power supply connectors and LED charging indicator. Besides device itself, package contains leather coverage, AC adapter, USB cable and 8 kinds of different connectors for connecting with devices that need power supplies. Those 8 connectors are, in fact, probably biggest limitation, because there is no possibility to buy new connectors additionally, if your laptop has specific connector for example. Luckily, connectors that you get in package are good enough for most used models, and chances that you will get the one you need are pretty big.
