Anonymous verified purchaser , “General home user”

+ Unlike most other laptops today, USB, ethernet, and power cables exit from the rear, much better for desk use. This was the main reason that I chose this particular model. Fast response, very good display, good key board.

- Vista !. Word 2007 for me is rubbish compared to the 2002 version when I want to produce drawings, I am now using Open Office !. Like most other laptops, many help files are only available IF you are on line.
