4 out of 5 stars Great laptop   August 15, 2008

I love this laptop. The screen is a great size and looks awesome. The shape of the laptop is cool, and overall, its great to look at and use. I cant fault its looks or its packaging. Plus, great delivery from Amazon. br / br /This is my first time using Windows Vista, and I have to say, I cant understand why so many people hate on it. Sure, there's compatibility issues with some programs, but that's the only major problem I've come across so far. I would've used XP if it was offered, but I've grown to love Vista, especially the search function, it works *so* well. Since Ive used it, Vista hasnt ever fully crashed. Its much more reliable than my desktop. br / br /I haven't upgraded the ram, and I find the laptop generally fine, although there is a little slowdown when I have lots of programs open, especially when I'm using my Tv tuner (which is designed for PCs with a 2.8Ghz processor and it works just fine when on it's own). br / br /It never gets too loud, or excessively warm. I've found no really big issues with it, although there are some minor annoyances. br / br /For starters, although it comes with an 80gig HDD, 10ish gigs are used for Vista itself (huuuuge OS) Another 10ish Gig is used by the laptop as a back-up partition (as far as I am aware, but I think that is what it is used for) so you only get around 60gigs of storage. I'm running out of space (2 months of usage), and need an additional harddrive. (By the way, make sure you have some blank DVDs to make system backups) br / br /Another thing to note is that the touchpad is off centre (so as to be in the centre of the alphabet keyboard as opposed to being between the alphabet and numerical pad). I often catch the mouse when typing, so I have to disable (using the Fn+F7 shortcut). I also find the touchpad a little unresponsive. I have bought a mouse (well, it was included with my 3 year warranty) which I use. br / br /The "lack" of 20gigs of useable HDD space is rather annoying (although, I should have thought of it tbh), and therefore I've taken off a star, along with the trackpad issues. However, I love using the laptop, as both my main pc, and around the house. I would easily reccomend.

I bought this machine at GBP399 and it's now down to 299, which is getting into the realms of unbelievably cheap. It comes with Windows Vista Home Premium which I can only recommend to up/downgrade to XP - search google for drivers. br /The 1GB RAM is just about enough (in XP) and the 80GB HDD is fine for normal use, but note that there's an empty second HDD slot just waiting to be filled with any 2.5" SATA drive. br /For the price (especially at 299) it's an amazing piece of kit and has lots of opportunities to cheaply upgrade to a serious machine - a real "desktop on the road." br /4.5/5
