Rob, Lancashire , “IT professional”

Score 8.0/10

+ Good value. It's small and light with a good battery life. The screen is bright and reasonably readable in adverse conditions. There's plenty of hard drive for the price and a dual core processor that seems perfectly adequate.

- I would have preferred fewer signs of use - despite it being a rework. The keyboard and mouse pad feel a little 'lightweight'.
