+ It is a good size and weight and has a good specification.

- Not really a bad point but the battery life is limited meaning you've got to remember to re-charge it it night.

+ My husband and I bought this laptop for our 14year old grandaughter. She wanted this particular laptop because it had been recommended to her, and she is delighted with it. She uses it for homework preparation, keeping in touch with friends etc. We also bought another one the same for our other granddaughter. The webcam is a very popular feature. The girls live in different parts of the country, and enjoy seeing each other's photograph on the screen, and keeping is touch. They are both delighted with their laptops.

- No bad points, so far.

+ The netbook is small and light, easy to carry around, which is what i wanted. Keyboard is a resonable size too.

- Performance is slow, especially when trying to do more than one thing at a time. EG: chat on MSN and surf the internet. Touch pad is difficult to use as the mouse jumps all over the screen when trying to click on anything, a mini usb mouse is highly recommended and makes use alot easier.

- This may sound corney, but I honestly cannot found anything bad about the little midget I chose, yes I mean the laptop, in fact I can get over just exactly fast the it is, for sure and without a doubt it's the best thing I bought in a long long tme and lives up to everything you state that it does - once again thanks to DELL this is a very pleased customer indeed.

+ Compact and lightweight design enables you to carry it around with you and use it on the go. Battery life also enables you to do this. Much prefer this product compared to my old standard sized laptop. I have windows 7 running on it with no problems, the processor is fast which was one of the reasons why I decided to buy a new computer. Overall excellent product, I use it all the time for my university work and I am extremely satisfied. Five star!!!
