Advantages: robust

Disadvantages: keyboards can lose keys - not happened to me

I got my laptop through work and work in a chlleging environment and have bought over 100 of these laptops. I've been able to get them for £500 now and find them very robust even when used by children.

The tech =

2 Ghz processor 1024mb RAM, 4 x Universal Serial Bus inputs, SD card slot and bluetooth.

It has a finger print sensor which if you company uses a biostore can be linked to use. Entry and meals etc... work the same way so I like this. No one loses their finger.

On the laptop there are light buttons for wireless and sound. these are a little annoying as you can turn them off by accident. But becuase they are lit you can see you mistakes.

Bluetooth - This computer has a bluetooth driver built-in which allows you to send and recieve files and add devices. This works well

At the bottom of the laptop is a docking point so you can lock the laptop and use a proper monitor.

Mine came blank so the software factory loaded I can't comment on but mine has no problems in this regard... I'm trailing Windows 7 and works fine. so it's future proof.

I would recommend this computer it's served me well. the only problem that users in my company have had is keys falling off. This means a £25 new keyboard... If you buy a second hand one get one of these as it will go eventually.

My keyboard however is intact - although you can't read some of the keys as I use it so much.

Summary: robust - laptop my firm has 100 2 years on their all still going.
