Advantages: Nice laptop
Disadvantages: Absolutely terrible after sales support

Nice laptop. However, Sony after sales service completely spoils it - and you'd better be prepared for them, because every Vaio laptop I've ever owned has had to go back at least once. It's up to you whether you're willing to deal with that but, just so you're forewarned: No Customer Service line. You'll be speaking to the repair centre ... not people who are concerned with your satisfaction. They are: - difficult to reach - never able to return ...
...- frequently rude - disinterested - unable to explain issues fully, or clearly - not focused on solving your issues - more on how they can make money out of you - EXTORTIONATELY expensive, if they do happen to weasel their way out of the warranty agreemend ... and they WILL try The Vaio customer website says "your serial number is your key to premium-class support". Well, they gave me the wrong blinking key. I've no support and the service ... Read review

Advantages: Reliable, affordable, easy to use, 15.4" screen. 80GB hard drive.
Disadvantages: Poor mouse keypad. (aren't they all like that?)

I have one and it is much better than any PC I have used. Mainly because of it's practicality. I can go 600 miles away with my broadband dongel and use it without any problems. I find it light, extremely reliable. I did choose the basic Windows package as I have no need for all the pointless extras and the Celeron works well. Fully charged my battery lasts about 2 hours without power. It's 15.4" Screen is a perfect size. Make sure you clear your ...
...any computer. I bought it in June 2008 for £270, very good. It has three USB Inputs, I would recommend a mouse with it as the mouse keypad is poor, though I haven't found a laptop with a good one yet. It is easy to use, very user friendly and providing you don't completely fill the hard drive it is quick. ... Read review

Advantages: quick, reliable, small and easy to use.
Disadvantages: battery life not as long as would be preferred.

Definitely an excellent buy!! I've recently started uni and this macbook was my first investment. All classmates have them and they are unmistakably the preferred choice to an ordinary pc. Slightly different to how a normal pc functions but quick and easy to get used to. I haven't had any problems and have loved it since the day i bought it. Its fast, reliable, small and easy to slot in your bag and take with you and lets face it, it definitely looks ... Read review

Advantages: Price, look, reliability
Disadvantages: Memory size, but adequate for basic users

I got my Acer Aspire 5315 as the freebie laptop when I signed up for mobile broadband at the Carphone Warehouse. I knew if there was no extra cost for it it would be a lower end of the market machine, which it is, however I'm pleasantly surprised. It's not a machine which has a huge capacity, 1GB and 80GB hard drive, but for users like me who just want to store a few current documents and photos and surf the net it's more than adeqaute. The 15.4" ...
...and the laptop is as pretty as any closed, if a little cheaper looking on the inside. Mine has been running without any hitches and start up time is excellent. A few minor quirks to get used to... the touch sensitve mouse pad is quite rough to the touch and a little jerky and the disc drawer is a stubborn old thing, you need to slam it closed. Not a bad under £300 buy. You get what you pay for as far as the spec goes but if you want a reliable little ... Read review
