Gary, Aviemore

Score 10.0/10

+ Great layout and user friendly. Good wireless connectivity, 3 USB ports which is enough, LAN connectivity, Great graphics, Good function buttons, CD/DVD RW drive is all you need. Being able to attach a second display (second monitor)

- It does not have a slot for pci cards, eg, wireless notebook cards Battery life should be longer and included in the price of the product, just over an hours batter life is not good in many instances, eg if you are working in an area with no power sockets, if you are out and about doing work.
