I am writing this review to inform the good people that good things in life can come cheap, my n600c is the best purchase of my life so far.

As i got this laptop for about 80 pounds i decided to upgrade it with some more RAM at the moment im running an Intel Pentium III m and Microsoft XP with 767mb RAM. the total cost of this laptop with upgrades was 110 pounds, considering this has nearly 1GB of RAM it is perfect for browsing the web and is very well at doing basic functions, Browsing the web is very fast and with the right browser and settings multi tasking is very good considering it has a singular core.

The speed for the specs overall is good, the sound and video card are not spectacular but obviously can still play music and video at a basic level (youtube, itunes etc) it is great for going anywhere, its relatively small and quite light at about 1.3kg and the battery life is around 3 hours, i know mine has been changed before purchase though.

it looks very good and although its getting on its style is still quite modern, mine did have a few surface scratches when purchased but these seem to have been caused y a knife or something similar, The keyboard is very nice and there is 2 options for the mouse; the bobble and the touchpad. It has a few buttons which only work with windows 2000 but these are merely for show in my case. the keys and buttons are well positions making for quite ergonomic, for the price i wouldn't expect much more from it

As for robustness i haven't really tried breaking it, but it hasn't broken so far, everything on it has quite a strong feeling quality and the plastic outer is very nicely textured, although mine has one surface scratch this seems to have been caused by a knife i rated it at 4 because i cant really comment,

The value for money on these laptops is pretty good, if you want a basic laptop for travel or just for word processing off line this is for you, its worth looking around for a good price because although when i was looking on ebay these were about 160 i found this refurbished one for a fraction of the price, this is a great buy and i highly recommend it, i also recommend if bought to upgrade if you know how, because upgrading is well worth the price,
