General Comments

I owned a Packard Bell Easy Silver One and it was fantastic. Upon upgrading I assumed that the igo 5581 would be of equal quality...far from it. It has great specs but is made REALLY cheaply. Just touching it feels as though it will fall apart. Cd drive feels though it will fall off the rails. As the keyboard is designed to lift out, many keys clunk and it is not smooth to type on. It's annoying to play music and watch films 'cause the speakers screech. Power cable keeps falling out the back. List goes on. I have owned it for 5 days and it is going back!! Shame on PB for making such a flimsy product. It is obvious they have lowered their standards.

    well id have to agree on the keyboard comment and the power supply but other than that i cant comment on the speakers as its my first laptop.
    the only other complaints about it the fact that the USB ports have gone real sloppy and that i cant find any other info on it apart from the initial spec

    what a load of nonsense, you do not own one for sure but only dream of having one!!!
