Packard Bell Easy Note

I bought the packard bell easynote about fifteen months ago and i haven't had many problems at all. The first reason i bought it was that it had a lovely design and i wasn't overly fussed about it's running speed, although it is fine when i am only using a couple of programs at the same time. The second was that it was very well priced for it's quality and it had everything i needed asi already had a fully functional destop computer, this laptop was perfect for my needs. The laptops appearance - It had a silver covering with the packard bell logo centered on the top and another underneath the ... more

Now not knowing a lot about laptops, as I have never been fortunate enough to own one, I can go on nothing but the specification to judge whether it is good or not. I would have no idea of comparing the different makes available. The day came when my dad decided to buy himself a laptop and learn how to start a computer, type up his letters etc. I have tried teaching him how to use my pc but he had no real interest to learn. Then a friend of his mentioned that he had bought a laptop and it was much easier to learn on, so he decided he'd give it a try. Off we went on the search to find one, not ... more

Technical Stuff -------------------- This laptop is probably one of the quickest on the market (although the market changes and improves daily) it has a Pentium M 2.0GHz processor. The memory is 1024Mb(thats 1 Gb)! Loads for most people. The Hard Drive is a massive 100 Gb. There is a DVDR9, so you can play and burn your own DVD's. It has an internal wireless/Modem which is 802.11b/g/ 56k respectively (hopefully this will mean more to you than to me!). Also a sound card and video card included. The video card is ATI Radeon 9600/9700 128Mb which I am also told is top notch graphics - can't say ... more

My Experiences… The first and last laptop that I used was the Packard Bell EasyNote E6. My memories of this product are pleasant ones, never did I have abnormal technical problems or faults and it ran as smooth as a skate on ice. I had it for a year and I re-installed Windows XP professional only once due to a self induced predicament. Disregarding the system that runs on the E6 the laptop itself is technically stable and robust, though structurally I have experienced minor, hair-line fracture along the right hand hinge of the lid. However I put this down to a rather rough-and-tumble lifestyle ... more

I was bought this laptop as a gift last year after my Sony Vaio gave up on itself. Although I loved my Sony and didnt think I would be able to find a laptop I would love just as much - this one has come very close. At £450 I would consider this laptop an absolute bargain, especially considering the specs - and its white :) I have a weakness for white laptops and I have no idea why. I just think they look alot nicer than any other colour they could possibly come in. Anyway, this review is very much sounding like a girl writing about how pretty her white laptop is so I will get to some of the ... more
