Advantages: nice looking very light
Disadvantages: battery life

This is the first laptop with a AMD processor that I ever bought and it will be the last… I bought it because it was slightly cheaper then the same laptop with a Intel processor, but now I know why it was cheaper: it is much slower and long hang time. the worst battery life i have every herd of. and because of the applications i run it makes it worse!! i never had any other problems with it. never crashed. works fine with windows xp but iv herd of ...

Advantages: Good value, well built, great wireless, everything built in
Disadvantages: None yet

As I previously owned a dell desktop I decided that if I was to get a laptop then I'd consider a dell. I've had the laptop 8 weeks and have yet to find fault. Being new to Vista is the only problem I had. The wireless is fantastic and will connect to virtually anything. The memory capacity and recovery drive are fantastic. The laptop comes complete with everything you need. The controls are easy to use and unlike a lot of laptops the touch pad is ...
...2 weeks decied not to work. I contacted Dell and the next day there was a new one delivered to my door. The features and functions are pretty much the same as every other laptop but the customer service and well built computers is what attracted me back to dell. ... Read review

Advantages: Quick and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Mouse pad is a bit too plastic to touch.

I have found this to be an excellent all round lap top. Since purchasing it in January I have not had any problems at all. I opted for the pink cover and have been really impressed by the overall appearance - it looks much more expensive than it was. The speed is impressive and just like it says in the advert it does make an excellent desktop replacement. I also found it really easy to set up, not being a massive computer expert I was dreading getting ... 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
