My girlfriend bought this laptop frmo Currys for £430 as her old one was on it's last legs. It has a dual core processor running at 1.83ghz, 4Gb of ram, a monster 320Gb hard drive, built in web cam, card readers for memory cards and DVD/CD burner. There is no dedicated graphics card, but that isn't a problem as my girlfriend isn't much of a gamer. Software bundled is Microsoft Works, Power2 Go (for burning CD's and DVD's), a 60 day Office trial and a couple of other bits from The Techguys. It didn't come with an AV but I installed AVG Free, and also Open Office. The laptop comes pre-installed with Windows Vista and fires up quite quickly, ... Read the complete review

For the price of the Advent 5411 you will not find better specifications 4 gb memory, dual core intel centrino processors, 2 megapixel built in webcam. That said you do get what you pay for. While it looks like a stylish machine, the build quality is not the best (my left mouse key is slightly sunken now). There are better overall components available, quicker processors, better graphics cards, more powerful mother boards etc, but for the price you will not find them all together in one package, I guess if you are not a huge gamer or graphic designer then this laptop will be perfect, with the power to run most applications without slowing. I am a keen ... Read the complete review

This laptop is absolutely beautiful to look at and i really love the wide screen it has. However, i got it at christmas and have been gaily downloading music onto it and saving photos, as you do, only to find it has made it really quite slow awfully quickly. I was disappointed also with the graphic quality. I am an art sudent and need really quite sharp quality images for which this is just not equiped. This disappointed me greatly. However, the keyboard is thoroughly easy to use, unlike many mac keyboards i have tried and the layout is easy to navigate. I can imagine that for anyone wishing to download games it would be an absolute nightmare but for my purposes it is ... Read the complete review

this is an ok laptop for the price you will get it at,i have been using it for almost a year now and i had a few issues with it though,the cd/dvd player made a horrid noise right from the first time i tried to listen to music or watch a movie and after about 4-5 months of use the power cord started having problems with loss of contact which was very uncomfortable as i had to keeping jigging the cord to make the power come back on to charge the battery whenever it went off.Also the battery may not stay on for so long when you have it off a direct power source especially if you use it to do stuff like watch a movie or listen to music while its own its own,but aside from ...

As someone who is not that "in the know" about computers or laptops, i bought this product on the advice of a computer consultant. At first it seemed to do everything i wanted and i was very happy with the purchase. Recently however i have had countless problem. Firstly the if you over the screen up or down while it is switched on you lose the picture completely/ Secondly it gets incredibly hot after a while, which makes it difficult to carry on using as i don't want to damage my table surface and it gets too hot to hold on my lap, so in the end i turn it off. Also not the greatest picture quality when you want to watch a dvd and freezer more often than not ... Read the complete review
