Full review

I've had my fair selection of laptops but none have come close to the performance of this little beast.
Size
I use my this at college everyday and it is perfect for what I need. The laptop is smaller than most of my textbooks and smaller than a piece of A4 paper so is perfect to fit in your back pack.

Weight
Not only is the laptop smaller than my textbooks its also a lot lighter! Saves having to carry around a mass of paperwork.

Battery
I have all the little extra's on the laptop and always use it on full brightness, realistic battery life is approx 2 hours under constant word processing. Batteries are easily swappable and easy to get hold off so if you do need longer it is readily availiable.

Durability
I do have a laptop case but in all honesty have only used it a handful of times, with this laptop being so small it will easily go into your ruck sack and will no doubt take a few knocks. Ive been using the laptop for around 18 months now where it is in use everyday and I have encountered no problems with it at all!

Warrenty
There are a good range of warrenty options availiable

Connectivity
The range of options you can have installed in the laptop are quite impressive. The internal options you can choose are:
Bluetooth
WI-FI
Smart-Card Reader
Infa-Red

Bad - Points
The only bad thing I have come across is that it is a bit of a pain having to connect a external CD-ROM drive which requires it's own power supply.

All in all this is an excellent product with so much to offer in such a small, lightweight product.
