+ Great screen, good size hard disk, performs very well with Vista and 1 GB of RAM (some of which is shared with the graphics card). Not good for games (except casual ones), but I did not buy if for that. Great for office and internet surfing.
- It's internal clock is about as accurate as elephant playing darts, but fortunately with Windows you can synchronise the time over the internet. Not a serious issue and appears fixed in all their latest models.

+ Fast processor,ease of use
- wireless card is not very good,can barely get a good signal in the same room as the router and have no signal in a different which defeats the point of wireless. The laptop is heavy to carry. There is no PCI slot

purchased 31 Jul 2007
+ Sturdy construction, easy to clean, and discreet design. Not too heavy.

purchased 31 Jul 2007
+ Its a great laptop - looks good and does everything I need it to
- Its a bit heavy (but not bulky)
purchased 14 Jul 2007
+ Good screen with glossy finish good for watching movies ,Core 2 Duo processor is quick.
- With light use the battery lasts less than one hour. Vista premium would be better with more memory.
purchased 31 Aug 2007
+ Good machine, runs quickly and smoothly.
- Battery life without ac mains could do with being longer.
purchased 03 Aug 2007
+ Great design, fan on side (helps prevent overheating), speakers on front (handy when lid down), hard wifi button, battery life fairly good due to core2duo. Only problem was with not keeping time - there is a software fix (takes 2-3 mins) available from packard bell for this - don't let them take your laptop in or reinstall your operating system! Good screen. Great processor, ram size and fast hard disk.
- No PC expansion slot, no hard volume buttons, Graphics card OK. Had trouble finding solution to the time keeping issue - only got solution as I was so insistent and had enough tech knowledge to discount other options!
