Review:
This laptop eats other PCs for breakfast and offers good value compared to some of its competition. It doesn't compromise in any way with its hardware, though its case is a bit love it / hate it. However the carbon fibre does seem to help keep the weight down, as well as giving it a somewhat understated look when compared with an brash Alienware or XPS laptop. Less could be said of the customer support, which messed me about for a week when I received mine with dead pixels. If you're lucky enough not to have any hardware problems you will not regret this purchase

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
