Zaeem, Bolton

+ This a user a friendly laptop packed with great perfomance features. The level oh hard drive storage is well in excess of what i need but handy to have. the compact design and sturdy feel backs up the fact the laptop is quite durable. the speakers are also rater loud and clear which means you probably wouldnt need to buy a beack up set of speakers.

- slightly weighty but not a major concearn

+ Sleek design with a superb 15.4" Crystalbrite screen 1gb DDR2 ram Powerfull enough to run Vista smoothly (wouldnt go for anything less) Ideal laptop for what I need it for. (listening to music, watching movies, photo editing, surfing the web and much more)

- Being very picky - there is no Bluetooth (but there is a switch!!!) Battery life is OK, would like it too last longer but hey!, you cant have everything

Chris, Marlborough

+ Well designed; good spec at a budget price; better build quality than many of the comparably-priced competitors (Dell, Compaq); screen hinges (a known laptop weakpoint on many budget computers - beware) are robust.

- Still can't access my wireless lan!
