Product Description
Does what is says on the tin.
I didn't buy this through Amazon, I spent 50 quid more and got it from a local Comet as I needed it that day (plus I wanted to try the keyboard first). My main machine is a high spec MacBook Pro and I bought this for one purpose only - to run VMWare Workstation on as I spend a lot of my time building Ubuntu systems and VMWare on the Mac doesn't have the features I need. I wanted a light, portable machine and this is definitely that.
It's cheap, fast and does the job I wanted it for. I've also been doing some development on it, played some DVDs on it, also played the online game EVE on it. It does them all and unlike the so called 'NetBooks' which are everywhere, the keyboard is useful as is the screen resolution. The screen *is* small but not too small for me. I owned one of the first EEE PC's and found that to be too small. This is just right (for me). Even the speakers on this sound 'not bad at all'.
So let's talk about the build. Well - it's pretty plasticky...

Review 2 : A Great Little Laptop !
I needed a smallish and lightish laptop for long train journeys, primarily to work on, and with good battery life, ideally at a budget price. This laptop meets all of these criteria and far more. The surround sound and dvd drive mean that I can watch the odd film on it (instead of working !). The DVD drive is also a writer which will be useful for work. I have a bluetooth printer at home so, the bluetooth means that I can connect to that easily. Surprisingly, for the price, it doesn't seem flimsy at all - it is quite well built. And I love the look of it - very stylish and cool.
I have 1 gripe - there is a lot of pre-installed software that I didn't want and had to spend ages uninstalling (trial versions that are completely pointless) - I would have rather been given them on a DVD and had the choice.
I didn't buy the laptop from here in the end but, Tesco Direct because I could get the same laptop there at the same price but, with a 250 gb hard drive rather than...
