Advantages: Great price, great features and great looks
Disadvantages: It doesn't make coffee

...know, I plumped for an Acer Aspire 3692WLMi Laptop, purchased online through ebuyer (see my review of that website too). LOOKS When it arrived the next day, I gleefully unpacked it and began setting it up. It's a good looking little laptop (it looks as good as the Sony Vaio I'd sometimes borrowed from work) and has a decent screen size (it's widescreen). SCREEN The screen is perhaps a little too reflective - I've tried using outside on a sunny ...
...indoors in normal light it is very good indeed. EASE OF SET-UP AND USE The keyboard is also nice to use as it is far enough back to be able to get your wrists flat on the front, rather than perching them on the front edge. The machine's Wifi connected to our BT homehub in seconds, giving a very strong signal. Which comes to my only gripe: I then had to sit about for over an hour while it downloaded and installed the miriad microsoft updates (it ... Read review

...little machine that is the Acer 5101AWLMI. Oh and make sure you only use a cloth, as fingers do make the screen look messy... ::::SOUND QUALITY:::: Sound quality is nothing special, but is exceptable for the price. There are two stero speakers on this front, and you can control the volume using short cut keys on the key board or by clicking on Volume control once logged in. Watching a DVD or TV gives pretty decent sound, especially considering ... Read review

...star? I have had my Acer Aspire 5103WLMi for a year and 3 months now, within a year of owning my laptop several things had gone wrong. 4 of my keyboard keys had fallen off, 3 more were close to it, the built in mouse is almost broke, my charger died, (Had to buy a £20 replacement.) My battery holds no charge what so ever, (My charger has to be plugged in all the time for my laptop to work.) My processor randomly changes speed and my laptop is slow ... Read review

Advantages: Features, size and design
Disadvantages: Not good enough for gaming

...me. As a fan of HP products, I chose from the DV6500 range available at the time. This laptop had every spec I required for both using as a station for university assignments, as well as home use for music, film and gaming. Firstly, the design is eye-catching. I was bored of looking at the generic black or grey and thought the white anti-scratch surface was ideal. The laptop is also quite light and the absense of a locking clip meant there was less ...
...more than my money's worth! HP also frequently offer discounts so it's always worth checking to see what deals are to be had. As well as the remote control that is stored away when not in use, another of my favourite features is the fingerprint reader. When you use the internet on a frequent basis, remembering usernames and passwords can be frustrating. For anyone who hops from website to website, I'd highly recommend this feature. Thankfully I ...

Advantages: Good looks, most basic equipment you would need, able to handle most programs
Disadvantages: Not suitable for games, some aspects feel cheap

...However, I will warn that Toshiba have placed quite a lot of branding on the software. The Toshiba wallpaper is easy to get rid of, but there are numerous 'memory eating' programs that Toshiba claim to help your laptop - they do nothing worthwhile. Certainly nothing that Windows can't do better. Separate programs for controlling the touch pad aren't required, and uninstalling all of this non-essential software frees up storage space and memory. ...
...ethernet port for my internet, and have had no issues with either. The ethernet is very straight forward plug and play, and connects to your ISP in seconds. The display is extremely crisp and sharp, and the brightness can be changed to suite your needs (and energy consumption). On the subject of energy consumption, this laptop isn't too bad compared to some I have used. I can run my laptop in high performance mode using wireless LAN for internet, ... Read review
