...much I came across the Packard Bell 3120 Laptop Computer in Curry’s, it was selling for £1399.95. On first looking at it I knew it was the one I was going to buy, my step dad pointed at others but I had seen the laptop for me.

The Packard bell 3120 weighs in at 3 kilo’s which is quite light for a computer containing all drives unlike the Sony Vaio with which you need a separate CD drive and Floppy drive. The laptop (when closed) is 1 ¾ inches thick, and 21 cm long. Overall I would say the laptop length is just bigger than the size of a piece of A4. THE SPEC

They said it was due to the DVD drive overheating that the motherboard being so ...
