- The computer is virtually useless as it does not have enough memory to store applications. 7Gb these days just about supports the operating system.

+ Over all it does what I purchased it for.

- The key pad is to sensitive its some times hard to stop it scrolling u0p and down.
No spell check until word is installed as the memory is not very big I had to purchase a memory card.

+ It's a fully working laptop with great speed and spec's and it's 100% portable.

- Low HDD space, meaning SD card purchase is required, and no DVD/CD drive is a downer.

+ The net book is light and easy to operate. Starts up quickly and is ideal for browsing the web. All in all a very handy little thing.

- Very limited space so can not download much. Glossy cover gets fingerprints all over. A bit of a pain having to move page sideways and back again when reading anything.

Helen, Manchester

+ Contrary to to other comments, it booted up quickly and was a perfect present for a social networking teenager

- battery life could be longer (but that would probably add to weight) and memory could be larger

+ Perfect for use when travelling. Very light and compact.

- Limited hard disk capacity so have to rely on external storage devices or transfer data to another PC / laptop for permanent storage.

+ Excellent display, quite fast. We use this on the move in our Motorhome with WIFI and Vodaphone Broadband pay as you go - excellent.

- Touch pad difficult to use - mouse really vital. Screen shape means you need to scroll more to read it all and sometimes the lower part of the display becomes innaccessible e.g. Acrobat print screen yo can't see or reach the print button. The base memory is a bit small but fits XP and some other programmes.

+ Excellent little laptop thats portable and more than adequate for Office applications and web surfing. Battery life is good. I've added an SD card to install some applications which run fine.

- The apostrophe key is small and right next to the carriage return, so you can sometimes press new line instead of an apostrophe, which is mildly irritating. That said, the keyboard is fine to type on.

- there is no cd drive built in,if there was, it would have been perfect and exact for movement but without were to play a cd or store things with,you would need a secondary equipment to,so it is not all in one, it is not also quick play.
