    Excellent little fella' !

    Very good for students & businessmen alike, compact, lightwight and definitely good value for money. I didn't find it noisy as someone previously written, on the contrary, very quite for a laptop. Definitely reccommend it highly.

    I've had this laptop for almost a year now and it fulfiled all my business needs. The battery life is exactly as described in the prospectus (2 hours) and I never had a problem with it. The screen size is pefrect for a frequent traveller, no problems using it in-flight, train or bus. The only thing I'd improve is the OS (comes with Vista), not the hardware.

    I haven't had a problem with the Advent 4401, it doesn't get too hot on my lap for hours, so I'm very pleased with it. It's small enough that I can carry around but large enough that I don't have trouble working out what is written on the screen.

    overall very happy with laptop, however the fan is far too noisy. The battery is shorted than expected, around an hour and the keyboard isn't the greatest, but for the price it does run very well. I use it for developing on and have never had an issue with it

    I would recomend the Advent 4401 for busy business and students. Small, portable, easy to fit and operate in an open zone, webcam, dual core processor, nice ram and classy screen. Battery life is not that great, give you maximum of one hour and 15 minutes, webcam quality is not that great, NOT A GAMING LAPTOP!!I love mine so much and wouldn't change it for any thing else!

    Small and compact quick and easy to use when you know
    what you are doing

    There are problems with the dvd re writer TSST Corp CDDVDWVTS-L632H ATA, it won't write to a single use cd in I Tunes, The Tech Guys tried a Dell fix but it did not work and did not come up with a solution.

    I like the Advent but its annoying to have problems that cannot be fixed.

    PC world Tech Guys took my Advent 4401 in for repair just 35 days after purchase and said they knew what it was and wuld have it back in a week. 28 days later still could not get the parts needed for repair despite them still being for sale in stores across the UK and available online. Now waiting for my refund/replacement from them. totally dissapointed by the service and the machine

    Utterly reliable, fan only comes on when hot, and it's not even noisy (other reviews I read said it was) Light, portable, ultra fast. Nery a bad thing to say about it. I would recommend the Advent 4401 laptop to family, let alone friends.

    I have had nothing but problems. PC World were particularly useless when trying to obtain refund as I was outside 28 days. In fact it was on the 28th working day that I reported the faults - the latest being that it froze when entering start-up password.
    If you want minimal problems shop elsewhere and spend your money on something that works. Shame I'm going abroad without the product that cost £400 to keep in touch with my wife and kids.

    Its quick when starting up, easy connection to wireless wherever I am, windows vista is great (even though I had had XP for many years) plays DVDs great, picture qualitly brill, and an ideal laptop to carry around as its not very heavy and isnt too big. Overall a great laptop and I well recommend the Advent 4401.

    I got this laptop for going to Uni. I wanted something light weight and powerful enough for just simple everyday tasks word, itunes, internet, MSN etc. Its perfect. The webcam is just an added bonus... it would be nice for the battery to last a little longer but for a laptop this size I cant complain. the fan being on all the time is slightly annoying but you get used to it very quikly nothing to get annoyed at really. Over all good lappy, well recommend the Advent 4401.

    I needed a notebook that could replicate my desktop environment when I am away from home. The Advent 4401 does this with the only compromise being the small screen and no numerical keypad. I have now used the 4401 for a couple of months and it has been 100% reliable. The earlier comment about fan noise seems to apply only if you use the 4401 in hot conditions where the fan does indeed run fast and loud. However, under the conditions I have used it (21-23 degrees C) the fan slows down to be much ...

    I wanted a small light-weight laptop to put in my handbag.
    I think this is a cracking little laptop. My daughter set it up for me and it was up and running in 10 mins.
    I like this because I am left-handed and 1 of the usb connections is on the left, which is ideal for me!
    The only downside at this time is that no light comes on when you have the Caps Locked.

    Thought it was a bargain small laptop - good spec. accept build quality would not be as good as mainstream brands - but hugely disappointed when powered it on. Fan noise ridiculous, on all the time - would not be able to use it as such, especially with the in built mic. near the fan - Skype would be pointless.

    Straight back to PCworld for refund (reluctantly on their part) - but I convinced them it wasn;t fit for purpose.

    Shame.
