If you want a technical review, look away now. This is strictly for girls:

I've owned this laptop a year now, and I must say I cannot fault it. To me, it's a real girly laptop (which is good, as I'm a girl), because of the unusual colour and light weight design. I am often complimented on my "cool looking" laptop.

I bought it from Asda Electricals online, for £385, which I thought was quite reasonable.

Windows Vista is stunning on this laptop, the screen is lovely, very shiny and has a beautiful picture. The web cam is brilliant, and gives a very clear image. The case that the laptop comes with, is nice in that it isn't black or grey (it's a very bright orange!), however it could do with a shoulder strap or similar, to aid carrying the thing around! (it's more of a sleeve than a case).

As laptops go, the sound isn't bad. The sound quality is never going to be great, but it's pretty good here, if a little quiet (struggle to watch TV/films on it if there's a lot going on without headphones in).

It has a built in wireless adaptor, so no need for a bulky card poking out the side, which makes it very useful for being connected anywhere, any place wirelessly. It runs most games well, though I often have to turn the graphics quality onto low or medium, else it tends to be a bit slow. The battery lasts for about an hour and a half from fully charged, on the highest power settings - far longer if you switch the brightness and other settings down. I did have a problem with my power adaptor, in that the cable melted after a few weeks, but it was replaced without fuss by calling the number on the Maxdata website.

So, would definitely recommend, unless you're into high spec gaming - it's more perfect for online shoe shopping :)

I wouldn't be without mine.
