Advantages: fast, cheap Disadvantages: poor battery life, video card not fully vista compatible.
i bought this computer to replace my desktop which was getting old and slow.
it came with Windows XP media center, but they offered a Vista Home Premium upgrade for very cheap which i took.
i have now owned this laptop for 1.5 years, and thus i have got around to figure out most of the pros and cons of this computer.
looks: the look is not great, but because the laptop was cheap i didn't complain...
screen: the screen is quite decent, even though ... ...LCD screens.
Processor: the in built 1.6GHz processor is quite fast and works perfectly fine with various applications open at the same time.
Memory: the 1 gb memory that comes with the laptop is not enough to run Windows Vista Home Premium if you use memory intensive applications such as an internet browser, and i have thus upgraded it to 2gb, with up to 79% of ram used after my computer had been on for 2 months in a row with many applications ...

Advantages: 120gb hardrive, the style is good. Disadvantages: There should be 2gb RAM, the battery is very poor.

The processor speed is only 1.6, the RAM is 1gb but Windows Vista premium takes a lot of the RAM. This causes the computer ...

...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 ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: not enough memory etc
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. ... ...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 ...
