Nice design, well laid out with good access to all ports. Sound is very reasonable for such small speakers.

Very slow to load Vista, disappointed that even with a duel core processor it takes so long to load.

Dual Core, 2GB Ram, Nvidia Graphics, Overall feels very nice and responsive.

Where the power lead connects to the laptop in not the best design.

Smart looking, light weight, pretty fast, easily accessible side usb ports. So good I got one for the wife too.

Not many. Would like to see a non reflective screen and longer battery life.

Roger, Petersfield, “IT professional”

Nice and lightweight, buying a recon laptop proved to be excellent value, since there was no obvious evidence of it being recon, it appeared to be brand new, but at £100-£150 cheaper that the high street price.

Nothing apparent in the first couple of weeks.

It Is very stylish nice looking machine the touch pad is very easy to use as it is highly polished and nice and smooth I have not used it to its full potential as im still getting used to it. I'am very pleased with it.

Heavier than I thought but not a problem as I don't transport it far

For the price this is a really good laptop. The performance is very good given the spec and I am very happy with it having used it for over a month now.

None to speak of.

Laptop turned up looking like a new machine with everything you would expect with a new machine.

When it turned up it did not work properly. It would not stay connected to the internet and had to be returned for a new motherboard. Could not really have been tested as advertised as this was a major fault. Shame, as otherwise this would have been a perfect purchase.

If we are watching movie or online videos then the whole screen become blank and we have to forecfully restrat the machine... this happens whenever I watch movie or a video clip. sometimes if the system is idle for sometime then the same problem happens.. have changed windows screensaver settings.. idle time settings etc but no use, when checked with windows they are saying its the problem with the machine only.
