Good Points: This note book is an ideal starter for my 6 year old daughter. She loves the colour, finds it easy to use and can play some basic, low spec educational and recreational software. It came with 12 months Norton (retailer offer) full security suite so I know she is safe and can restrict her access. Has good size and quality screen..

Bad Points: Very basic system, 1.6 dual core processor with low memory and graphics spec mean uses are limited.
Only had this of about 8 months & already the touch pad is giving up. Will have to replace next year as my daughter will need better software to keep up with school

General comments: An excellent starting lap top for the younger user and outstanding vibrant pink everyone loves. But expect to have to replace reasonably quickly as limited specifications.
Really easy to operate and has everything the younger user needs with all the ports and connections needed. The 'fn' function can be a worry with inquisitive minds and hands.
Vista & Norton are taking their toll and can be slow slow at times but this is not necessarily a bad thing as 6 year olds get bored easily & give up, go outside and play in the garden - which is good for keeping them fit and you don't have to worry about long hours on pretty polly's latest adventures.
Don't expect this to suffice for any thing more than just the basic use. If it had not been the only pink lap top I could find, I would not have purchased there are cheaper and better alternatives even though they are not pink.
