My brand-new laptop

After my desktop PC stopped working properly I decided it was time for me to buy myself a laptop. I looked around for a non-expensive, good laptop and I saw this one was for sale at a pretty low price.

The keyboard is comfortable to use, although I think they should've made it more ergonomic. Overall I think they did a great job on it. It even has some shortcut buttons on the top. Sadly enough it's something I rarely use.

The touch pad works very well, although it is annoying while I am typing something, but I think every laptop has this problem. You can easily turn off your touch pad though.

With the Fn button you can acces more features of your laptop's keyboard, which I think is great because it adds some extra functionality to it.

I really like this laptop and I am pretty satisfied with it. I can play the games I want to play on it and it's fast enough to run multiple applications at once.

The only thing I have a problem with is that it only has a 160GB hard drive (which isn't too bad considering there are a lot of laptops available with less hard disk space).

I like the fact that it has a widescreen screen and a pretty high resolution (1280x800). What's good as well is that you can easily set up its brightness and the laptop has a power saving mode as well.

Overall I really like this laptop and I definitely recommend it to the people who do not want to spend too much money on a laptop, but still want to be able to play games on it and/or want their applications to run smoothly without much lag.

I have Windows Vista installed on my laptop. I'm not sure if it works in Windows XP but I did a search on it and I don't think it would work...
