A good price for an average laptop

Kennard | 08/09/2008 | See all Kennard's reviews (18) »

The laptop is only 350 quid for a reason; it's not that great. I have sent mine back to the manufacturer for repairs because my sound wasn't working, only to receive it back with more problems (such as the unit powering up whilst closed and hibernated, therefore draining the battery). Also games will not run on this system very well.

However if you just need a basic laptop with decent power (it runs vista very well) for the internet and documents, then look no further.

The keyboard is nice to use and the unit itself looks pretty good, with good hotkeys witch can be set up to open webpages (email etc) for your convenience.

Only feel sorry for the Graphics Card.

I think Steve1969 already said enough about this laptop. I just wanna say, I still feel sorry for the Graphics Card and the weight. In China, you can find a much better one at this price with a same spicification (well, but we are not in China so... :S). In additional, The speaker sounds not even as good as Dell Inspiron 1520.

All in all, except the Graphics card and the sound speaker plus the weight, I would say, this is an OKAY laptop.
