Advantages: Lots of features and decent battery life.

Disadvantages: Reliability / build issues.

I bought this computer on the internet from a reputable UK based company who I have used before. I was working in Kenya at the time so asked for it to be delivered there, which it was quite promptly. However, when I got it out of it's box and plugged it all in the screen was all blocky. Then, after only 10 minutes of use the screen packed in completely! I was extremely saddened. I phoned the company and, as I was fortunately due back in the UK in 3 weeks time, they offered a replacement. The replacement I received and I haven't had any further problems.

The system itself is quite powerful with a DUO T7300 processor, it has a 17" widescreen display which although itself is not HD ready, can output to a HD ready TV. It also has a 320 GB harddrive and a HD DVD player. It has the normal two speakers but also has a built in sub-woofer which makes games like Call of Duty 4 sound awesome!

There are loads of great features but you can find them on the internet and I don't want to just make a list here but this computer has become the core feature of my home multimedia centre, easily able to link it to my PS3 to play my videos and music on my big TV.

I have had another problem with it actually, the rotary volume control does not work very well, it will only usually get louder, but I can't be bothered to drive all the way to the shop to take it back again.

The battery life is good; it will last between 2 and 3 hours depending what you're doing with it which is much better than my old computer which now lasts about 3 minutes (it's old).

Summary: Good looks and decent performance
