This laptop is one of the best buys out there on the market. It's available cheaply and is capable of running almost anything that any regular user would want.
It's main setback is the lack of RAM, Random access memory that is used to store programs that are in use. But this is easily corrected by any mildly competent computer user, as RAM is available very cheaply and easy to install. So, for an extra £20 one can add a 1GB stick to this laptop and it will run like a much more expensive model.
The graphics card is Vista capable and gives a 2.6 / 5 rating in Windows vista, which is enough to run the new Aero graphics system.
Different models have different size hard disks, but even the smallest ones on offer provide more than enough storage space for the average user. Overall a highly recommended product.

More detail would get you better ratings. You mention that its capable of running Vista with the graphics card but you dont say if thats what it comes with (rather than XP) and if so which version of Vista is it, ie Home Basic, Home Premium or Ultimate? how many ports ie USB ports and so on, does it offer? does it have a built in card reader like some do? what kind of a processor does it have, does it come with any other software pre-installed, is it wireless ready/compatible and so on... if you cover that sort of stuff, then your sure to get higher ratings. Hope this helps and welcome to Ciao! :-)

Welcome to Ciao, you have the basis for a good review but you could do with a little bit more detail to bulk it out and gain higher ratings.
