Great performance for such a cheap price. very nice style with a great screen, it also has good graphics chip for the price which can handle graphics task well, supports an HDMI out which supports 1920x1080 which is the res for full HD (looks great on my samsung set)
Good battery life for such a powefull machine, when brightness is turn down I can get about 3 hours 30 min which is great for this type of machine compared to other laptops of the same spec.

I feel they may have been able to make it a lil smaller and sound could have been better, apart from that its an all round GREAT laptop.

After many hours of going through all the specs, and product read ups for a decent laptop PC, I eventually settled for the Philips 7511 recon PC. It measures up to all the recommended specs, very fast and with the huge hard drive plenty storage space !! For the price paid, I have got myself a real bargain.

It was easy to set up and to create back up disks.
It has HDMI connectivity to the data projector I have.

I don't particularly like the touchpad opting instead for a wireless mouse. But it is hard to get round doing something better than the pad.

Position of the USB ports is really awkward (bottom right on the side).
There are only TWO USB ports - on a modern PC this isn't really enough. That said, a 4-port adapter only cost me 2.99 so it's not THAT big a deal.
DVD drive is very plasicky and feels very cheap compared to the rest of the machine.

only two usb ports and both next to the dvd drive so cables can foul the drive when ejecting / loading cds and dvds maybe they could have put the usb ports on the back of the machine. The manual for the machine isn't clear about all the various ports etc for this machine a bit too general. I am not sure that the processor in the machine is the correct one as I thought it was meant to be 2.2GHz but it shows up as 2 GHz.

I like the design, size, style and weight. Longer battery life would be more beneficial as isn't that the point of it being a laptop in the first place?
-
The battery life is absolute rubbish and only lasts about 45 mins! If the products were reconditioned properly then they would be ok but they seem to just be put back to factory settings and sent out again...this is the FOURTH machine in about 8 weeks! So infuriating and turns out to be not the bargain you were hoping for. This laptop has lasted about 6 weeks so far and only goes faulty if you try to play games like tetrus with the arrow keys!

At the time of purchase, i was told that the laptop is 2.2GHz but when i started it, it actually was 2.0GHz, which was a disappointment for me because i was looking for a laptop that is above 2.0GHz.
