This is a very good-value laptop. It is relatively inexpensive, at about £550, but comes with a good feature set, reasonably fast dual-core Intel processor (1.8 GHz), but the 2GB of RAM means it will actually run surprising fast with some more memory intensive software (e.g. photo-editing software). It seems robust and well-made although I have mostly used it at home and have treated it carefully, so I haven't really tested this assumption. It has Microsoft Vista home premium installed, which has been surprisingly robust, rarely crashing.

The finish and feel of the casing are good when compared to the cheapest of it's competition, with dual colour, silver and black, casing that makes it seem slimmer, although not as stylish as some more expensive models such as my Apple MacBook nor as indestructible as my old IBM T42.

The screen is very clear, sharp and bright and a good size, 15.4", which makes it big enough to use for photo-editing etc. but without being too big to carry. Battery life is not great, often lasting less than 2 hours, but acceptable, and a spare battery would be a good idea if using it away from a power socket. Overall, however, it is a very good package that looks and feels a cut above many similarly priced laptops.

An idea of what you paid would be helpful, personal opinion is always useful as a list of specs can be found on the manufacturers website. Caroline xx
