Steph, Glasgow General home user

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: It's fast. The graphics, especially in HD movies is superb. Watching DVD is also superb.
Bad points:: It carries a "Windows 7" logo, but has an "XP" OS. That is misleading. There is no indicator light to alert the user that something is going on in the background.
