    Good Points: Generally Stable, although constantly using more power to keep the board cool enough to work with, as I'm writing this, my Packard Bell is cooking my toast, yes, it gets that hot!


    Bad Points: Terrible battery life, mine lasted 18 months.
    £85.00 is a bit excessive for a replacement battery, so I just use it on AC Mains now.


    General comments: Too expensive, for what it delivers (overall). But then I did buy mine S/H, so cant complain.
    No gripes about the OS, (XP Pro) anyone with a problem with the OS should format the drive & start again. I Did.


    Personally, I'll stick with my desktops thanks!

    The Packard Bell Easynote K5285 must be one of the worse laptop models Packard Bell have churned out!

    I was suckered by PC World into parting with £1200 for this inferior machine with a short operating life. I have had the machine 15 months, and although it has not been abused it is now useless... The worst investment I have ever made.

    At the time of purchasing the Packard Bell Easynote K5285 I resisted considerable pressure from PC World to take out extended warranty - I always do.

    After 14 months I was unable to boot up the laptop and sought advice from PC World (the vendor) at Exeter - without success. I sought professional assistance. We were advised that the problem was likely to be minor and that re-installing Windows XP would resolve the problem. However, the DVDRW drive was found to be defective. Again we sough ...
