Customer Reviews

Not Impressed
Had problems connecting to the net after a few weeks. Then the screen went white and red and I now have to pay £174 to get it fixed. So much for a warranty, I would avoid it like the plague.

Windows VHP is not enough
Just bought this laptop from Amzaon for my mom so she can chat with us from home.
Laptop is amazing lookwise and featurewise, especially that wonderful webcam. I also got 120 GB HDD with this laptop.
Touchpad is not very smooth & sensitive but bit jerky. Not sure this is laptop or vista's fault.
But overall good machine if you are not using Windows VISTA.
Please keep in mind that VISTA is very hungry OS and Celeron processor is not fast enough and 1 GB RAM is not large enough to run VISTA. I disabled few GUI features from Vista and still memory was 80% full. Still this machine is very slow compared to same celeron running XP.
Also there is a known issue with Yahoo messenger and MSN messenger on VISTA so you can not view other person's webcam. Hopefully updates will come soon for those two most popular messeging tools. I managed to run beta version of yahoo messenger to view other's webcam, but could not manage to run MSN to do the same.
So, if you want decent performance from this machine, install Windows XP or Linux. Not sure if you get webcam driver for linux.

Just A Few Questions
I would be looking this laptop for nothing more than surfing the web, sending emails and maybe downloading music and watching a few DVDs. Do not want to pay big money, would this be suitable laptop?
