HighPoint RocketRAID 3120

Advantages: fast, good storage space, dvd and cd writer
Disadvantages: not many

...knew it was the one I was going to buy, my step dad pointed at others but I had seen the laptop for me. A short lad in his plight to sell, and my stepdads haggling powers we found a very good deal. £997 plus £300 for an extra 3 years insurance on top of the 18 month manufacturer warranty. I must say I was very pleased with the final price and wanted to get it home. Oh! You want to know more about the laptop, well here we go. First of all the laptop comes in silver covered plastic case, not tacky as you may think. It is very attractive compared with other laptops to say the least, the 4 Watt speakers are front mounted and are positioned so that when you close the lid, the sound (if you want to play a CD) is not distorted.

Disadvantages: the tower is a bit tacky, can fall apart easy

...Hi! at the moment my beloved PB 3120 Laptop, is dun-dun-duh!! BROKE. It didn't last very long but eh! neither would anything the way I treat it, or would it. Well a year and a half on my Packard Bell IConnect 1350 still works, and I tells ya, it has had a few beatings and bumps.

Yet! this computer isnt moaning at being second best and isnt even moaning that I came crawling back when my new toy decided to go on strike, it is quietly humming at the bottom of the table, just content that I am using it again. Sorry, but IConnect I am using you. Last Year in April I bought the computer... Read review

Advantages: VERY Fast, Great Images/Pictures
Disadvantages: NOT powerfull to play high demand games from the internet

...The greats & the wills. The Sony Vaoi is a great little machine! It runs very fast great for the internet and for a laugh to your friends. All the feature on the Sony are great better a desktop XP computer. Most games work on the Sony laptop great speed for some games. Ram is a high point on this laptop and is the best if you use BroadBand. The bads & the wonts There is no bads. The wonts there is only one that is if you like to play games you have downloaded from the internet freely or paid for the download the game play is poor but is still great for home use!! The Sony Vaoi A217 is highly recommended to any home user... Read review
