Advantages: Looks, Easy to carry

Disadvantages: Wiping it!!

I bought the Le Div@ (as it is spelt) about two years ago from pc world. I wanted a computer that I could take around with me and keep as a desktom I no that may sound a bit precise but the Le Diva was the computer for me. The one pictured is the exact replica of the one I ve got (there is a le diva 2 now.)

In the discription it says that it has 12gb which is a pile of rubbish mine has 20 gb lol.

The computer does have 650 MHz and 128Mb ram. It reads DVD's and CD'S perfectly no problem with that. I got mine with Windows ME (but it says Win 98.) The monitor is 15" TFT but its a bit bulky. (and heavy as you might expect)

I have a Broadband (wireless) connection through a Belkin network card. But it does have a modem slot on the powerpack (I suppose they could not fit it on the monitor.)

The computer has a microphone slot, a headphone slot, Mini Firewire, 2x USB slots and a reset button.

It has several LED's on the front which tells you if the computer is on, the HD LED (harddrive), e-mail whoch is quite good, shift ke and caps lock.

The keyboard is very very little whick is good so you can type faster well I can anyway....... On the keyboard their are your standard buttons and an on/off button, a play, stop fastforward and rewind buttons for your DVD'S, volume control's, E-mail tab,Internet tab, gallery of your photos, And a sleep timer.

The computer is an Intel Pentium processor 3.
The manufacterer is packard bell.
With the computer comes a little like remote control with a touch pad.

The Negatives.

The is one major problem there is no floppy drive so you cannot wipe the computer and I bet (if you are a computer genius) your shouting get an external floppy drive..I've tried it and the BIOS does not recognise it. Apart from that there is no other major problem with the computer. You can easily upgrade to Windows XP with a XP bootup CD.

The price for the whole computer is around £1000 (I got it for) but now you can probably get them cheaper.

If you really want to wipe the computer then you need to ring up Packard Bell and ask for the "master cd's" they will send you some cd's but the call charge is 75p* a min. That is on a BT standard line.

The computer has a sound card built in and some speakers right across the front of the monitor. It is not very easy to open up and it is very very hard to get an exact motherboard.

If you brake the keyboard or mouse belive me it is hard trying to ring up and get a new one so my advise is don't break it.

Anyway....Hope this helps!
