WANT A LAP(top) DANCE? Review ofSony VAIO FE41S - Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz - 15.4" TFTby

Advantages: Good price. Disadvantages: A bit heavy.
I got this laptop a few months a go. I bought it from my brother's friend called Grimm; he has a lot of electrical goods that he sells out of his garage. All I got was the laptop itself, no boxes or manuals or anything, but he sold it to me for £50 and he said it was almost new. Grimm said he couldn't offer me a warranty on breakage, but he says if someone steals it he'll do their legs in.
~~ Installation ~~
All of the software and operating system ... ...some files and what seemed to be some schoolwork. So I guess installation was very easy!
~~ Looks and Feel ~~
This laptop is nice looking, almost as pretty as me ;~)
It is heavy though and I need to set it on a desk, in fact i think it probably weighs more than I do!
