Advantages: Really good calue for money Disadvantages: Te keyboards too small and not set out too well
and just under 3 hours of normal work on it, it is a great choice for video and music playback. Its brightness and screen quality also helps for this. It's also very good for multimedia tasks such as video editing because of a built in firewire port and an S-video output.
It is let down on how solidly built it is though. It feels quite flimsy but this shouldn't be a problem if you are using it for your average house user but its probably not one to let your kids play around with.
So all round its pretty impressive on the power side of things and good for multimedia work but its main let down is the keyboard set out. I would recomend it to you if you were looking for a laptop for about £500 which you would use for quite simple tasks and maybe play a few games on it but if you would be annoyed by the keyboard its really not worth it. ...
Advantages: happy endings to stories Disadvantages: hyper hosts
Extreme makeover does exactly what it says on the tin so to speek, it is a show that completely rebuilds a new house.
The show is made in America and is aired on sky tv on uk style channel 246 and 247 and is on at various times most days.
The programme starts off by showing you the families homes before the makeover and the conditions they put up with and live in, some are really bad. The host Ty and his crew then show you what the plans for the new home. Then they call in the bulldozers and completely demolish the house, I love this part of the show it just get stuck in and ripped to pieces.
You are then shown the start of the new building, which doesnt take them long at all, not like it would be in England it would take us months to build!!
It is now time for the big reveal, the families are taken round their brand new ...
Advantages: High specifictions, range of colours, free case and mouse Disadvantages: Slightly heavy
and wireless features, not to mention the free case, this laptop is extremely portable.
It also comes also with a 120GB hard-drive which gives you plenty of space to store your files, music and other things. It has a place for headphones and a microphone. Also, two USB ports, fire wire and a memory card reader can be found along the sides of the laptop. There's also a DVD burner.
The battery life is much longer than I expected at about 2 and a half hours. It also comes with a two-year warranty. I'd say this laptop was definitely one to get, especially for a teenager who needs one for High School or College.
This laptop is also very durable, trust me because I stupidly dropped mine when I was standing up and it made an almighty bang, I thought for sure it would be damaged or broken... but nope. Not a scratch in sight and still worked ...
