Dan, Sheffield

+ No problems! The widescreen is fantastic, just have to find a bag to fit it! Good looking and great performance

- battery life is short, but there is a selection of performance ratings that are easily selectable - this means you can change the laptop's settings between increased battery life or increased performance at the click of a button.

- Product comes pre-loaded with a lot of proprietry software that i simply dont need or want - clutter! And it is not easy to remove without taking risks that there may be adverse side effects.
