Ephraim, Manchester

Score 10.0/10

+ I have it now for 5 months and I found it extremely reliable with no crushes whatsoever; good keyboard and clear screen(vision might be affected if working by the window since the screen is shiny,not matt as in the past). It comes with a basic battery which keeps for about 2 - 3 hours which is very good. The in-built heat sensitive mouse is divided in two: 85% is the normal arrow mover but the remaining 15% (only devided a drawn line) it has a scrolling function which is (I think) unic to this model,and makes life easier.

- With an in-built camera this will be too good to be sold in UK ...so it doesn't have one...
