Extremely fast and easy to use laptop. Just turn it on and simple to set up. With extremely high RAM and a good processor, it can run programs quickly and many programs at once.
-
The graphics card is not good. As with most integrated graphics cards, it is not suitable for gaming but for general use it is ok.

I think the laptop is a really nice design. Absolutely brilliant value for money, a lot cheaper than equivalent laptops just because it isn't a brand. Very quick.

Battery doesn't last too long. I don't like the buttons across the front. The mouse is a bit sensitive, but I just haven't got around to adjusting it yet...

Excellent design and screen size and quality is very good. I haven't used the webcam but the wireless capability is first rate. The memory size is outstanding and certainly the best in its range. It has delivered more than I expected from such a competitively priced laptop - well worth the money!

Battery life is ok, but could be better. The CD drive feels slightly flimsy.

Excellent components on the initial package. Only thing I had to purchase was norton office and Word package for home/student use. Has good memory and was very easy to set ;up and connect to wirless. No re going over old ground to ensure that everything was working correctly (not like certain previous computers I have had in the past which have been a nightmare to set up)
