i have had this laptop for a couple of months now and got it to help me with my university work. i do computing at university, so i found that i need a reliable, cheap and hardworking laptop. this laptop is very fast, excellent at managing different tasks at the same time. Mine comes with a great webcam that i use with all my friends. this webcam is great in low light and loads of light. i find that it works well in both as all the pictures are really clear for a standard webcam on a latop. I purchased my laptop with the OS windows 7 which i was very impressed with. I find it nearly as good as windows xp. i would not reccommend purchasing it with vista as i find that it is a very poor operating system and cannot handle multitasking. overall, i would reccommend this laptop and i find it is well worth the money.
