Very good laptop for home use, however not very portable at all. I have it set up more like a desktop computer, connected to a seperate monitor. This makes it very fast, very user friendly, and of course with it being a laptop, you still have that ability to take it to work with you. It's a great little machine and it has some very good points. The screen is excellent, with good colour depth and the keyboard is a pleasure to type with. Touch pad a little sensitive and works better if you change the settings so it disables whilst you are typing. The processor is quick and just what you would expect on a budget laptop. Hard drive is big and fast, RAM copes with Windows vista sufficiently and works superbly with XP. If you can track down a bigger battery this laptop is almost Perfect. Overall 8.5/10 because it is cheap, fast with lots of memory and a great media or home laptop.
