Advantages: part of the 3mobile broadband package

Disadvantages: low RAM - 1gb

I got this laptop with my 3 mobile broadband package. Overall I am quite impressed with this laptop. It obviously isnt top-spec, but it is decent enough for basic use - I use it for internet and word processing etc. Running multiple applications is not a problem for it, in my opinion. However, mine seems to struggle when first booted up, i spend at least 5 minutes from the initial switch on waiting for it to all load up.
Graphically it sems to handle itself well, and has a decent sized hdd - 80gig. It has a duel layer dvd writer, so that wont need upgrading. All i would suggest that should be upgraded is the RAM as it only comes with 1gig, and my old laptop used to have 2gig, after i upgraded that.
The screen is nice and crisp, with a full widescreen display.
It feels a little 'chunky' incomparison to the new model laptops on sale.

Summary: not bad at all
