John, Cornwall

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Robust and attractive, good screen, keyboard and connectability. Some people might find the weight a little uncomfortable but I like the feeling of using a substantial machine rather than something which might break if keyed too hard!
Bad points:: Battery (4,400mAh) is underpowered for the machine and facilities offered, I'm getting little more than 2 hours use from a full charge. The other 'problem' is the OS, Vista is power hungry and infuriating, I would have preferred Windows XP as an option.
