Advantages: quality, feel, speed, expandability, screen quality & res.
Disadvantages: it's faster brother...at the price, nothing else

I've had this laptop for over a year, wrote this review on it, and I couldn't do without it.. I speak not as a writer reliant on his laptop, but as a die-hard IT support guy looking at a machine that can multi boot, keep up with the most demanding websites, look good in modern supertrendy laptop design company (if you catch my drift) and have a great reliable built in wireless/bluetooth module in the lid as well as great battery life. All of this ...
...is common to catch these machines at a reduced rate once the business community has done with them). No, it isn't the most compact, smallest, widescreen machine - and if you need super portability, look elsewhere. But if like me you want decent disk space, expansion capability, very high quality feel (the keyboard is one of the best I have felt on any laptop including Sony, the case has such a tactile matt rubberised feel, the built in mice work ...

Advantages: Amazing Notebook Computer
Disadvantages: Portability, Battery Life, Brilliant View Screen and its hinges

Great computer, very happy with it. The screen is just a bit hard to work with. It keeps on making a cracking sound and moves difficultly when ever you touch it. Worst is you cant oil it or anything because all of the hinges and whatever are sealed in for protection. The brilliant view screen is pretty awesome, it just reflects a lot and is impossible to work on with a window behind you. It also attracts a lot of dust. The battery life is also ...
...a desktop pc after a while so it not the end of the world. I would not recommend it to anyone needing mobility and long battery hours. It's a brilliant machine otherwise. Windows Vista hides its potential a bit. My advice - for windows lovers, downgrade to XP. For linux lovers, go mad :) If you do plan on keeping Vista, at least upgrade it with another 2 gb RAM! ...

Advantages: Large Screen
Disadvantages: Poor Quality

I bought a dell inspiron 1721 laptop about 10 months ago, when we received it would not work so i phoned the support line, it turned out that the 2 hard drives had not been connected in and they sent out these screws to connect them in place. since then the computer kept going to a blue screen and then safe mode, it then has crashed beyond repair and we lost everything on it. It was sent for repair and 2 new hard drives were fitted, within a week ...
...who claimed it was a software problem and i would have to pay £60 to have it sorted. After 2 hours of arguing with them they eventually agreed to have a look at it and it turned out they had to replace both lots of RAM and a complete new mother board. It's been returned and still has the same problems DON'T BUY, CRAP....... ... Read review

Advantages: good price, small and compact
Disadvantages: no disk drive built in.

I only recently got this product, but so far i have found it a really good quality netbook. I am a student so for me it is important to have a laptop which is samll enough and light enough to carry around to lectures and seminars, and this one is a first class netbook. It is made by Acer, a well known brand. It has an 8.9" colour crystal brite LCD screen, 512mb mamory, and 8gb flash hard drive, and runs on Linux lite operating systems. It also has ...
...It comes in a variety of colours (i have the blue one), and retails for around £199-250 depending on where you bbuy it. I paid £199 for mine from PC world, and i have to say that it was money very well spent. Not only is it extremely compact and light (it weighs less than 1kg!!!!!), but it is so simple to use and the initial set up is easy as well. I am aware that Linux Lite operating systems aren't as well known as the windows operating system, ... Read review
