Advantages: Looks great, Easay to setup and use

Disadvantages: Poor battery life and hard to get a case for

This was my first ever laptop purchase and I love it! I am by no means a computer wizz or a computer expert even - I wanted a nice looking, neat yet affordable laptop that wouldn't be too heavy to carry around, and that is what I got.

I love the style of the laptop, and the setup is really easy - I managed to go through the first setup procedures whilst watching EastEnders on television. I was at first a bit puzzled and wary about the windows Vista program - I know that many complaints have been heard about it, but I had no such problems, I found it easy to use and reliable. Technical running wise I really don't have much of a clue - it works and has not let me down the year I have had it - and I don't know much more than that.

The only slight problem is battery life - I found that it can easily run out of power in 4 hours or less, which is slightly annoying so if you want it for lots of work on a train or away from a plug I would use another laptop - this doesn't have great battery life at all! Also finding a suitably sized case is another thing I had a problem with!

Summary: Great fashionable laptop, but not good battery life
