comes with Vista but only has half teh RAM needed to run it. fine if you are going to bin Vista and install XP but if not budget another 30-40 quid for a RAM upgrade.

Won't play even oldish games like Half life as teh graphics chip is rubbish at 3D. whilst you are looking for "uni" now you need to consider what its going to be doing as well.

Abysmal battery life, if they quote 1.2 hours expect 45 mins tops.

Not really a good laptop IMHO. I know you haven't a lot to spend but I think this would seriously disappoint you.

Thats better, still not brill on teh Gfx chip but a lot better than teh SIS one on your example
