Advantages: Good all round multimedia laptop Disadvantages: Bulky, low battery life.

The Operating System
First thing I need to say about it is Linux, what a joke with its limited functions and the hassle you need to go through to add new features.

Linux isn't as straightforward as Windows and in many cases you have to open up a console and type commands when you want to install or make changes to an installation.
