Advent 4211C

I bought the Advent 4211C netbook nearly a year ago and also it has some bad points, I still love it and would recommend it. Rather than going into details what the netbook can do and can't do/specification/product description, I would just give you my opinion about it in general. The best thing is the size, it has a 10" widescreen and weights 1.2kg- I carry it with me everyday on my bike in a side bag, lots of other things have to go in there so the size and weight was extremely important for me. I was in a doubt whether I would be happy without having a dvd drive on the netbook but believe me, it is not important, most of the programs you can ...  Read the complete review

This is the best netbook i have owned, i have owned many netbooks in the past and decided that this was the best, its loads web pages very quickly, the netbook is so light you forget you are holding a netbook, the 10" screen is just perfect not too big and not too small, the webcam is good quality, and the hard drive is perfect for storing your media, i found many people were saying this netbook isnt built for games and pictures and music, but i found it great after putting a dvd on my usb and playing it on the 4211c it ran perfectly with no skipping and ran smoothly, I also dont see why people say you cant play music as i have 1000 tracks on media player 11 with ...  Read the complete review

I did a lot of research on netbooks and found that the Samsung models were the best sellers, although this advent has many identical components inside.

It is very reliable and doesnt heat up too much - I often have it on for up to 4 or 5 hours at a time. The 120gb disk is ample and with the ability to easily connect USB storage this isnt a problem. The netbook comes with 1 GB of ram but ...  Read the complete review

First of all what a craskingly small piece of kit and available for such a good price if you shop around or don;t mind a reconditioned unit ! The Intel Atom processor is excellent and as this comes with XP home you don;t have to worry about windows vista eating up all your processor power. I would however advise on fitting an extra GB memory which is about £10 these days. The addition of a webcam is excellent for the price so you can make video calls and the battery life is fantastic. Great for on the move - pop it in your bag it really is that small but you can easily watch a video files / dvd's but I would recommend plugging in your ...  Read the complete review
