So I bought this laptop about two years ago its works great sometimes but sometimes not so great.
Every now and then it just dies for no reason, and goes blue screened has done since I can remeber. It has no microphone unlike other laptops. The battery life lasts about 30 minutes if your lucky. It runs quite slow and doesnt have lot of RAM.
I paid around 600 hundred for this laptop with intrest on top of that, so as you can imagine rather expensive. And its not got a big hard drive only 80gb which about 15-20gb is taken up by the running system. Its only has around 864mb of ram meaning that Vista is slow at running. What I have never understood about this laptop is one minute I can have 864mb but then the next I can have 1gb.
This laptop has got long durability though, I've had it about 2 years and its not let me down yet *touches wood* its been dropped, stood on and sat on and it still works like a treat. It's just ashame that it doesnt have much memory. I think if it was to have more hardrive space and more RAM it would be an amazing laptop.

Where are you seeing the number for the memory? Windows will use some of the memory for the graphics chip if it doesn't have its own dedicated memory. Click on "Start button", "Run" then type "DXDIAG" in the command line without the quotes. This will show you what memory you have and what's being used for the graphics chip, virtual memory and so on. If you don't see the run command on the start menu then right-click the task bar then "properties" then the "start menu" tab, then "customise". Scroll down until you see "Run command", make sure it's checked then "ok", "apply" and finally "ok". The run command is now on the start menu. Lesson finished for today :)
