Advantages: light, easy to use, fast processing time, and many of the usual features

Disadvantages: poorly positioned fan

I got this product as it was on special offer at Tesco's and believe it or not it was a spur of the moment purchase - but one I have not regretted.

I have never had an issue with the unit (now 8 months old) it runs smoothly, With all the bells, whistles and built in safety features you could ask for to protect it from overheating and from customer error.

This laptop has never let me down - starts up in under 60 seconds, and I have never had to restart it because of any technical issues. There have been days when I have had the thing on for two or three days at a time without any issues.

The one time I did have an issue (total power loss) I later learned that this was my own fault, as I had blocked the fan on the underside of the unit which is probably its one flaw. As long as you are aware of that then there is no issue. If you accidentally block it the unit powers off but after a restart 5 mins later I was able to auto recover all my work.

Summary: Over all I am very happy with this unit, I use it daily and would be lost without it
