+ The product looks good, works well enough for the price

- Think it is a bit slow when on the internet, never realised that it was Windows Vista Basic at the time of purchase, would have preferred Premium

John, Edenbridge , “honest reliable fun happy”

+ Nice and quiet model with no noisy fan distracting me. The interface is better and I would say better than Win2000 or XP.

- The bad points for me are that I did not receive any boolets with the syetem ( Appreciating that it is a recon machine) none the less some instruction would be useful as others in my house are not as computer literate!
Also there is a compatibility issue with my current ISP so I have had to completely change the mode in which I access the internet. This has had financial implications to me.
