This little notebook is an absolute gem for people on the go. It is small, lightweight and its simple design makes it one of the more attractive notebooks out there! It's great for working on microsoft word, excel etc but it may not compare to the performance of some of the more modern notebooks that technology has to offer. If your after something for work and only work or watching dvds on the train or airplane, get it. This notebook has 20GB of hard drive storage which is plenty to keep all your work, doccuments etc on (I am yet to have it crash!) If you want to do some occasional gaming it has to be a no. It lacks the processor of graphics card to play games.
The ultra thin 14.1 inch TFT will make anything you do look spectacular
The procesor is a mere AMD Athlon XP running at a maximum of 1.2 GHz
The graphics card is severely hampering the notebook's performance; It is just 32mb and will strugle on games like Virtua Tennis and Counter Strike:Condition Zero
The battery is good but may need replacing after a year's use as it runs down rather quickly after that
The is a standard DVD-rom drive but where's the cd burner?

A good start but you do need to add more information on the product and also expand on the details you have given to gain the higher ratings. Happy to read again if you add more information.Fionaxx
