Some customer reviews of Packard Bell MZ35 216

Kerry, Manchester

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: The laptop is compact, easy to use and very fast, especially with Norton 360. Automatically defrags and virus checks whilst programs are running so saves time in the long run. Checks and defragmentation do not affect performance either, unlike most computer programs that d the same thing. Is also very stylish and nice to look at whilst using. One of the best parts about this is also that it doesn't have Vista installed.
Bad points:: I was told it would have 80GB harddrive, but it is just under 70GB(68.6 in fact), though this space varies from laptop to laptop.
