Top laptop. Very user friendly and easy to use. Plenty of processing power too, so you'll never be found short when running programs. There is lots of space, standard 100GB hard drive, and this can easily t be increased. As can the memory, which is 1GB as standard. The screen is lovely too, very clear and great for watching DVDs. Alos the built in webcam is brilliant for instant messaing and video meetings etc. Comes with Windows Vista, Microsoft's new operating system. Vista is very good, so enjoy! The only negative thing is the keyboard. I find it slighty difficult to type with, but that's probably due to my big fingers! I would reccomend an external keyboard to plug in via USB. These can be bought fairly cheaply at amazon.com. Overall a very user friendly laptop, comes with lots of good features and a very competitive price to cap it al off. =)
