Good Points

It's inexpensive, light, and has a reasonable screen.


Bad Points

It's very slow, and appears to lock up, with even basic programs.


General Comments

I have found this notebook to be quite reliable, even when my children have stood on it. It is reasonably styled, and is quite light. The battery seems to run flat in about 20 minutes, so you need to carry it around with the power lead.
The air vents are on the bottom, just where your knees would go if you placed it on your lap, so you can't actually use it on your lap - you have to use it on a taletop.
I updraged the memory from 512Mb to 2Gb, which seems to have improved the speed.
All in all, I would suggest that it is an inexpensive portable desktop PC.
