Good value laptop
By Paul Mellor
I bought this laptop to replace my 3 year old Medion laptop and I have to say I'm really happy with it so far. The hard drive is large, with the 6GB of RAM and fast processer meaning it can handle multi-tasking some fairly resource intensive programs with ease. Windows 7 looks great too, although it really isn't much different to Vista to use. I'm not a fan of computer games but I saw on reviews on other sites that you would need a seperate graphics card to play. To test it I downloaded a couple of demos - COD 4 and NFSW - both played perfectly which may help some people.There are a couple of poor aspects, one being the extremely short battery life when multi-tasking, it doesn't bother me too much as I use it at home but may be an issue if you need to use on the move. Also it only has one speaker which is poor quality, again I use external speakers so not too big an issue.Can't give it 5/5 as it isn't perfect, but I always thought I would be buying a 4/5 laptop with this and didn't want to pay double the price for the extra star. Highly recommended.

Honestly the best value for money laptop out there - June 2011
By Tomolo
I really did my homework on finding a good enough laptop for my usage, and this has far exceeded what I expected for under £500! (inc delivery)There is a review about the wireless internet being a problem, I can say that with this laptop it hasn't had a single problem once.I downloaded a few games to test out the graphics and the performance.The Windows Experience Index scores are:6.9 for both processor and ram.4.5 for graphics3.9 for gaming graphics5.9 for hard disk.The battery life is good, it was estimated to last around 3 hours with me really putting it through its paces with running multiple programs and sound, so battery life is not an issue. Had 50% left after around 1.5 - 2 hours before I plugged it back in.This computer switches between programs like no other laptop I have been on before. I ran football manager, the monopoly facebook game and youtube all at the same time and it still changed between them with no delays (very impressive in my eyes)Amazon delivered on time and the packaging was really neat.Good laptop, I would recommend it to anyone who wasn't looking for a laptop specifically for gaming with high graphics. It runs WoW and FM no problem.
