...rated the old Powerbook from Apple but not yet this little black Macbook. It is "faster", has audio in, wireless internet, a brighter screen, a better power connector and a whole range of excellent software delivered with it. The surface is more resistant to scratches than the old "Titanium" Powerbook, I throw my tools around a lot and do not want to handle them like a holy bible ;-) Bad Points: The screen no longer folds back as far as the "Titanium" ...
...to persuade Monsieur Lawrence of Apple Service in France to exchange the French keyboard for a QWERTY one free of charge. He was also kind enough to send me the latest "Leopard" (OS10.5) disk since the display model I had bought had the old "Tiger" 10.4.10. Since I work with multimedia and am very impressed with the software delivered with iLife (disk included with the Apple products) I was disappointed to see that most of the items which are of ...

Advantages: Fantastic Battery life and lots of features
Disadvantages: No Floppy Drive or PS/2 slot

...of a laptop. The HP Compaq nc6120 is a business laptop with a no frills design but all the features you would come to expect for business use. The main areas I consider when purchasing a laptop are, • Features • Battery Life • Cost!! The nc6120 comes in a number of derivatives and prices vary from around £700 to £1,100 depending on what you go for. It is a sensible no frills laptop that is dark grey in colour with no garish add-ons ...
...been very impressed with the HP Compaq nc6120 so much so that I have actually replaced all my business laptops with the HP Compaq nc6120's. The laptop isn't going to look the best or be the smallest and lightest out there but the features and durability and no nonsense design make it a very effective tool and good replacement for a desktop computer for those of you who are mobile users. ...

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
