Review:
This laptop is just alright. It works fairly well but battery life is poor.
The performance is not bad but there appears to be fundamental problem wit Advent in general that is glossed over in many reviews.
A quick search of the internet will show that many users are experiencing unexpected shutdowns of the all Advent devices, usually while in he middle of their work.
Some have suggested an oveheating problem, others a problem with the battery. Whatever seems to be causing the prolem, in a majority of the events, PC World is denying any responsibility.
I think this problem should be better highlighted and resolved by the manufacturer.

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
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
