- Get rid of Vista Software and repalce with Xp. Vista is so unstable and incompatible with other software/hardware at the moment. It is slow and unreliable.

Score 8.0/10

+ Its a very pretty pink - the most important of the specifications for my daughter. It has a nice size screen and has been very easy to use after the initial set up. Havent had any problems with the software- some people warned me to be wary of vista but it has been good.

- Not having used or set up a new laptop before,it took quite a while to start up initially and we were worried something was wrong (being inexperienced we thought we would turn it on like the pc and everything would just start up immediately) but once it had started (less than 10 mins)everything was fine. Not a bad point to the laptop but the instruction booklet could have had a little warning.

Denise, Lurgan

Score 10.0/10

+ My daughter wanted a pink laptop for Christmas and we purchased this one as it was the cheapest we could get, which left us slightly worried whether it was up to speed or not. Would have to say so far so good, it was very easy to get it up and running and we where connected to the internet within minutes.

- Slightly disappointed that microsoft office for vista was not included but I guess what do you expect at this price. As this is the only computer we have that is vista had to go out and buy this package but in the grand scheme of things that is nothing to complain about as we really did get value for money.
