Full review
I bought this laptop middle 2004. It is had a few knocks and bashes, but it sturdy and has a tidy, strong keyboard and touchpad for typing, unlike many other laptops I have used in the past.

The battery life is very good, over 4hrs for word processing, and the battery charges quickly. The power management software makes changing settings quick and easy, although it sometimes has a mind of its own when switching on / off the cardbus & LAN cards. Screen is very clear, although as with all laptops colours can be unclear at certain angles.

The computer itself is fast and has a reasonable bundle of software, good CD burning software etc. However the major factor that lets the laptop down is the 20Gb hard drive. This sounds adequate for a laptop, however when I started to install software etc. I realised that the autorestore features were using up several Gb of space. Whilst I realise the laptop is aimed at business users, who tend not to have a large amount of media etc. I use a large amount of images etc in my work, and 20Gb was not large enough by the time restore points and the OS had taken up their several Gb of space.

In addition the laptop is quite heavy, but is not unwieldy.

Overall a fast and efficient laptop.
