Advantages: Handles everything really well

Disadvantages: No amazing amount of RAM to boast about..

This is the laptop I am typing from now, and for me it has outshone my expectations of it by some way.

I bought this laptop a bit over a year ago and I think it was very cheap, about £350. For this price I was not expecting much in the way of performance or longevity however this laptop has defied the principle of more money, more ram means better.

It does not have the best of specs, however it handles most applications perfectly fine. The only thing that it has a problem with The Sims, however this seems to be more of a general compatibility issue with windows vista.

I realise that a laptop should last more than a year anyway, but in terms of longevity it is doing very well. It takes a lot of use and is still pretty quiet. Only when a virus scan is taking place can you hear the hard drive working away.

These may not be being sold any more but if you find a shop selling these off as old stock, then definitely think strongly about buying it because for the price, it has been amazing.

Summary: Who cares about specs if a computer like this can perform so well.
