Good quality equipment. Easy to set up and to work. Bright screen - everything that was needed works seemlessly
-
The only slightly negative point is to do with the touchpad, it is not as sensitive as i would have liked and the selection buttons (left and right) require a little too much pressure to make them easy to use.

The laptop is very impressive and easy to use, stylish with a brilliant sharp clear screen. The design is at fault.
-
The mains adaptor and fan are too close together, after 30 mins use the socket had become very hot.
the airflow underneath was limited which caused the base to overheat. The DVD player needs to fitted slightly higher as this kept catching it is also very flimsy. The machine's on the heavy side for a laptop. The sound/speakers are not very good.

I am not connected to the Internet. But there were enough securities screens in place for me to feel confident if I ever decide to go on the Internet. That's why I gave a high score.

Great value for money, loads on it for the price
-
The only bad point is that there are no drivers for the touchpad, so you cant adjust the sensitivity or turn off tap to click, which can be very annoying when typing. I have gotten used to it now and love the computer, but it still causes problems from time to time.

I didn't want to spend too much but did want something with a decent processor and RAM. So basically this is what you get here. I shopped around quite a bit and found this to be the best performer for the money. Very happy with this laptop, you can't go wrong. And yes, it does have a nice bright screen.

Overall very happy with computer: good screen light, functionality and easy to set up and use. Wireless connection worked first time! Im very pleased with the purcahse for the money I spent on it.
-
To be very picky, the lid feels flimsy and too flexibleI to offer any real protection to the screen. If I was travelling as I used to, Im not sure it would stand up to the job.
