Initially this product was very satisfying, offering good performance and reasonable spec for under £500. However Packard Bell have let themselves down again by being totally unreliable. DVD drive stopped working first, followed by two of the three USB sockets.
Latest problem has been that the BIOS firmware was written incorrectly, so the processor is working at full speed, thus causing the computer to overheat intensely and also reduce battery life to under 20 minutes.
They have written an upgraded version of the bios which is available for download from their web site, however it is no use to me... I cant write to cd, nothing works!
Google UJ 850d and see how many other people are having the same problem.
In short, I shall never touch another Packard Bell machine ever again! :o(

I wouldn't touch PB with a barge pole, I have worked with PCs for over 20 years and they have been consistently poor and overpriced all that time.
