I have a green bright spot on the monitor

Jun 10, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: small, handy, convenient, good sound system
Cons: slow cpu, especially with vista
Opinion:
Bought the above 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately my unit has a bright spot (green colour) on the screen, though small but obvious. After various conversations with the call centres and visit to the service centre, it seemed that they could not help me at all and I was just not lucky having brought a machine with this problem, since the problem is so called 'within the acceptable range of the industry'! I am not quite agreeable to this statement. It might be the case years back but with today's technology, the manufacturer should review their standard and quality control. This PC's screen is only 8.9" and it should be managed to have NO bright spot. I am a PC user of different brands for many many years, and have never encountered an issue as such.

Great for portability

May 30, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Small Size, full size keyboard
Cons: Battery life, Windows vista overpowering for 2133
Opinion:
Got mine just recently, dun wan to carry my 17' notebook around when i go diving so i chose 2133. Good for relaxing under the sun while u check you email. No more bulk in your bag and best of all you can use it on the tray table when your flying and won't disturb the person seating next to you :)

My only gripe is the poor battery life and windows vista that seems to slow the whole notebook down. Will 'upgrade' to Windows Xp to speed up the performance...

Pros: small
Cons: fashion not function
Opinion:
want a real steal? head down to Courts-SG now & buy the NEC Versa S3300 which sells at $1099, w/ 13-inch screen, Intel core-duo cpu, 1GB RAM, 128MB video, 160GB HDD, livecam, Vista home-premium, DVD drive, and battery life at par with most laptops today. 2133? I don't know who will buy this really...
