pay little and you get crap

Dec 16, 2007

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: makes a good door stop
Cons: screen very poor contrast. not usable in high light intensity, creeps along with vista .. continually breaks
Opinion:
I have had more than a dozen computers and by by far this is the most disappointing. This is not suitable for anything more than checking one's email. I am trashing it and going back to a vaio. A stupid attempt to save some money there is no comparison.

Superb Desktop Replacement

Jul 8, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Superb 15.4" screen, nice keyboard, price.
Cons: Lacks PC Card slot and card reader.
Opinion:
I have the newer C520 model that comes with a 1.6GHz Celeron M 520 CPU, 512MB RAM, 80GB 5400rpm hard drive, and DVD dual-layer writer. As far as desktop replacements go, battery life is not so much a concern. However, it did manage to squeeze about 2 hours of usage from the 6-cell battery. The 15.4" screen is superb with good sharp text and bright colours. Performance wise this NB breezes through image editing and office applications. Websurfing is fast and problem-free, but don't expect blazing frame rates on 3D games though. The lack of a PC Card slot and SD/CF card reader may deter some buyers. Other than that this is a fine desktop replacement notebook.
