sleek design great mouse pad, lightweight and a super large screen.

The battery doesn't seem to last very long despite having it on charge for a long time.

poor battery life from new and not sure the laptop is performing as efficiently as it should (very slow even with a recent memory upgrade)

Beautiful, solid design. The screen is particularly good and offers good viewing from many angles.

The processor let this laptop down somewhat, but it is an end of line model with an 'old' processor. Still, its perfect for light use/music/web browsing.

Pretty

Incredibly slow to start up, even though we use it for internet only and there is nothing large loaded on it. Battery doesn't last very long at all when not plugged in.

Everything works pretty well. Easy to use and find things on. Only a couple of times has it slowed down or frozen momentarily.

Battery could last longer. Internet pages have frozen in the past.

Great design, ideal first laptop.

Vista is a little slow but this can be easily resolved by adding more memory.
