Advantages: fast inexpensive notebook Disadvantages: gets warm when rested on your legs
The advent 7002 has now become the 7006 and has come down in price from a respectable £1499 to a very a affordable £1299 (I believe another £100 has or will be taken off)

Networking the 2 computers was made very easy by xp, which will set up and configure both computers for you

On a recent visit to Dixons in Belfast I came across the Advent 7006 (the rebrand of mine) for £1197, which is a great reduction of £302! If you're after a great laptop, then this is a perfect chance to get a powerhouse for peanuts!
I?ve finally bought a nice shiny new notebook pc after about 3 years of deep thought! It was only by pure chance that I spotted my new toy on a recent visit to everyone?s favourite pc store ? PC World (don?t even think about it!), where I?d gone to price a few components for a friend. I was looking for hard drive prices & also for a new LCD monitor for my pc. Whilst wandering around the isles I came to the notebook/portable pc isle & stopped to see what was on offer. After a good look at the various models, I took a shine to the Advent 7002, which was a new range ...
