Good: Compact, versatile and powerful enough for me anywhere in the World.
Bad: Very short battery life, and the huge price quoted for a replacement one from PC World
Comment: Have used this laptop all over the world for more than 2 years, mainly for contact via e-mails, Facebook, holding travel diaries and thousands of photos which are viewed and edited soon after the shoot. Seems quite robust and touch wood, reliable. I am not a gamer and the extra performance it lacks had no bearing on my selection of a very compact and adequate little companion.

Good: Size
Bad: Power problems
Comment: 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.

Comment: An excellent truly portable laptop for general office applications and photo config.
Quick to set up with Vista Home Premium.
An excellent sub £500 laptop.
