- Good points:
- It was like a new one noboby would know that it was a recon
- Bad points:
- I think it would have been better if there was back up disc's to go with the item, But if the Manufacturers do not supply then there is nothing you can do about it,

- Great spec., at a fantastic price. Very pleased.

- Battery life same as most laptops - fine if you just want to surf whilst curled up on the sofa at home and don't mind plugging in to the mains.

- Good points:
- This laptop is very fast, i bought two for my children for Xmas. They are very happy with them, they have not been on the Internet yet so i can not comment on the wireless part or its performance on the net. They have burned Cd's, watched DVDs and said that it is really fast. My son is 13 and has played games on it like Fifa, age of empires and other games which require loads of movement and has had no problems.
- Bad points:
- The laptop can feel hot if you are on it for a few hours. It is big and bulky but for the size of screen and contents i suppose you have to expect it. I can not compare this laptop to any other as this is my first laptop we have had. The battery power can get extremely hot which does not seem right to me.
