Advantages: Very fast and very portable.
Disadvantages: Tiny keyboard and can sometimes feel a little flimsy.

This is a fantastic little laptop. I've been using it for little over a month now and all I can say is WOW!. It's very light and portable, I've had no problem carrying it around with me, even just in my hands. Of course this creates a downside. Tjhe keyboard could be a little bigger. I have fingers like sausages so maybe this is just my experience, but I can not type at my full speed, which is a shame. Also, sometimes it feel's like i could snap ...
...my hands are bigger than average. For such a small laptop, it really is quite fast, as long as you don't want to play games. I only use it to write college reports and light programming, and for this is works wonders. I have the XP version and it is very capable of running word processors and even photoshop. I generally find that 20 gig is plenty for me so having the solid state HDD is brilliant. Finally, considering what you get for your money, ... Read review

Advantages: Sleek And Robust!
Disadvantages: Not Good For Gaming!

I brought this laptop and was very satisfied with it. There are some positives and some negatives to the product. I will start with the disadvantages. It is not as fast as a laptop which has an Intel Core Duo Processor as this product contains a Intel Celeron M. a Core Duo means it can do the 2 things at the same time at the same speed 1 thing would be done on the equivalent Celeron M. I went to get this changed in mine to a Core Duo but it cannot ...
...so please be aware before you buy to get the one that you would like. Also the video card is not good and on the Windows Opta Index Rating it is given 1.0 which is poor and again in this computer cannot be updated unless at a higher cost than a new laptop. Again seriously consider! The battery life is very poor on this machine on high performance it last only 1 Hour and 3 Minutes. There are many advantages to the product with its sleek design ...

Advantages: Looks good. Battery life around 4 hours. Keeps your legs warm on cold days!
Disadvantages: Audio crackle. Gets too hot. Screen viewing angle restrictive. Slow to start.

...appears to be a common Dell laptop problem. I eventually found advice in a forum to disable band A on the wi-fi. This worked but it is a bodge. The audio isn't good even without the crackle but I was intending to return it before I found the work-around. I tried to use the on-line help Dell make such a fuss about but it wouldn't recognise my service tag number. On the Plus side, it is a good looking machine and the battery life is excellent. I was ...
...but I have to say I quite like it. I bought it to replace a dying Medion laptop I got from Woolworths. The Medion was a much nicer machine to use despite being cheap. It served me well for over two years of heavy use but it has developed a poor connection somewhere. Even with the fault I still prefer it to the Inspiron. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap,Fast,Sleek
Disadvantages: Size,Ram,Lid Scratches Easily

...The main things th HP have done wrong is they have only put 512 DDR2 in to this laptop and i think that this is not enough for windows vista to run smoothly,would be ok for Windows Xp .After a few days i upgraded the memory of the laptop to 2gb ddr2 this is very easy and was cheap only £30. After i did this the laptop was perfect. The touch pad is made from the same plastic the case and i think it is very good.The Graphics are Intel GMA 950 with ...
...it also failed using the HP Backup Software,Worked perfect when tryiing to copy music disk.The Lid on my laptop has got 2 scratches after only 2 month of using.One more problem i have found with this laptop is that the power cable is in the wrong place always seems to be in the way. i would reccomend getting this laptop if you are on a tight budget and if you are not botherd about the size of the laptop(would reccomend Ram Upgrade). ...
