Advantages: Cheap, huge screen, good features, 2GB RAM, 1.9GHz Disadvantages: Dire battery life
...SJ51 not the SW51. Packard Bell no longer sell the SW51. The basic machines are identical, but the SW had AMD Turion, 1GB RAM and 1.6GHz clock speed, and the SJ has the Athlon x 2, 2GB RM and 1.9Ghz, . Everything else is the same; if Ciao ever set up the right category out I'll move this review!
==MY PURCHASE==
I bought this Easy Note laptop from PC World a few weeks ago and paid £419. It is therefore pretty much an entry level machine, but I think ... ...this a great buy.

Advantages: Great screen, ram, harddrive, wireless Disadvantages: Bugs (suspected to be in vista)
Hmm, i bought this laptop yesterday brand new for just over £500..and so far i have to say i am not impressed. Ok, it runs windows well and fast, and is fine with office and other applications, at has a great screen, and a great feel...this i am not disputing.

The sound is great and its superb for watching DVD's on...but what do you want it for??
