Advantages: Brilliantly written Disadvantages: A little confusing at the start
Notes from an Exhibition was one of the many books that I purchased with book vouchers a friend gave me for my birthday. Although this event was over 6 months ago now I have just finished reading the book. Now although I enjoyed reading the book and found author Patrick Gale's style to very pleasant to read I don't think it is a book that I could read again.
So what is the book about?
Well the book tells the story of a famous artist called Rachel Kelly. Rachel is bipolar and so her moods can be rather erratic although it is these moods that she accredits some of her best work to. Throughout her life she has remained an enigma to her husband Anthony and her four children and so it is only after her death that they can truly begin to understand her.
After leaving a strange message on the answer phone of one of her children Rachel ...
Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad
I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'!
My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop.
Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life.
I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks.

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad
I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com.
The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available.
The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal.
The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has ...
