Default Re: I need a laptop?

Have a look at these.

PROS,
Like the size and weight.
Webcame is handy(Kids)
1 GIG RAM
100 GIG of HD
Joy pad
DVD Burner

CONS
Battery life poor
Don't like the gloss screen, would prefer a matt finish
Touch pad takes a couple of swips to get across the screen

Overall well worth the 399.42 + Vat I paid
