Advantages: Cheap to upgrade, good features and upgraded its not too slow Disadvantages: Not a laptop to go out and buy new.
The first thing to point out is the low price.Although you may be disappointed with the lack of a Pentium Processor sticker, the Athlon XP-M gives a nice speed of 1.6Ghz in the c160.This matches similar Pentium-Ms, and to get the most from the Athlon simply expand the RAM from the basic 256Mb adding another 512Mb.This is said to be the most the processor can use effectively. And if done properly the laptop is not too far behind the 1Gb RAM laptops ... ...player which is a nice feature.And a half decent battery life.The screen is clear with a high resolution. It is easy to use and the keyboard is a pleasure to type on.The slidepad for the mouse, is controllable and fairly precise. There are 3 USB ports at the back of the laptop.Space for a wireless card (wlan card) to be fitted to enable wireless connection.
The laptop is cheap to upgrade. But if you're looking to buy a new laptop then I'd advise ...
