Advantages: CHEAPER THAN MOST LAPTOP'S
Disadvantages: BITS AND BOB'S

...i did'nt want anything smaller than 14 inches as i had a 17 inch screen on my old decktop pc and it would just not seem write looking and straining my eye's over a tiny screen so my choice was 14 inches or larger,internet was alway a proplem for me as i live in a loft flat and i hate wires running around the skirting boards so the laptop also had to be wireless the best choice was the CENTRINO as this was most reliable..

Advantages: Good price when compared to competitors

Rang them again just before I was going abroad and pleaded for a new model as I had lost all confidence in the model, they arranged to take it and never took it which I found when I got back. Quite irate now, I rang them again and they came and picked it up. They said now it was because of my low memory, so I agreed to pay £60 for an upgrade, taking it up to 64Mb. I turned it on, it worked for the 10 minutes it was functioning. It saved itself to disk when I went to the toilet, and I could not get it to open again. I rang them again, and they had upgraded their new system so when I... Read review
