Lorraine, Telford - Shropshire

The widescreen screen is lovely to work from very clear. I like the fact that it has a built in web cam and mic. Also the built in sd card slot is very handy no messing with digittal camera leads.

The one bad point is that it gets very hot but then most laptop/pcs do so it is not a problem.

Very good laptop which serves my modest computing needs admirably.

May perhaps struggle a bit for users who would push their machine further than I do, as I do little but view web pages and write word documents. However, I have no complaints.

As well as being exactly want you would want in a laptop, it's stylish and contemporary. Everyone comments on it when they see me using it. I love my new laptop!

Only thing against it is its weight. The same as any other laptop I'm sure, but it would have been absolutely perfect if it was a little lighter.

It seems well built, has plenty of features (many of which I have yet to try) and is very simple to get to grips with.

I'd like an external volume control, as was on my previous Toshiba laptop - its irritating having to adjust the volume on the desktop. Also, even though it has an LED to show whether bluetooth is connected, there doesn't seem to be a bluetooth function on my model.

Having always worked on pc's this laptop is a good first laptop to have. Core 2 duo which is absolutely brilliant if you have got several functions going at the same time.

Its rather heavy and gets really hot so I wouldnt have it directly on your lap. The battery life isnt great so have to keep charging it up or just leave the battery on constantly. The screen is reflective which is annoying so you have to sit away from the light.

Very good at handling almost every thing that i have thrown at it, in terms of programmes that is! The multicores' and RAM are more than capable of running Vista with maximum apperance options, thus looking very smart.

Fails to cope with recently realeased games on standard settings - dropping certain settings in video options does combat this however.
