Packard Bell Easy Note - Any Good?

[oldskooladdict]

My cousin is considering this laptop, it will be her first computer purchase (ever!). She's drawn to it based on looks, how it feels and certain other features. It's around £500

I had a Packard Bell many years ago (about 14 iirc) and I wasn't overly impressed, but that's a long time ago.

So, does anyone have anything to offer on this model or Packard Bell in general?

I'm personally trying to persuade her to go for a Dell Studio 15 but there you go!

We bought a PacBell Easy Note for Christmas. An excellent piece of kit. Very well put together plenty of power and speed. Nice crisp graphice. Cant fault it.

Can also recommend ACER, I have had a few over the years. But DELL?? Stay away they are only rubbish

Dell are very good and their after sales support is very good.
