[olivera182]

[wazaka]

[olivera182]

wooop, i got this netbook. tis aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacee

[batista4127]

sorry for the late reply but i also got this netbook!!!!!!!

[lukeboy260]

is the keyboard an alright size

[lukeboy260]

is this a good netbook for the price or not

[MarcinM592]

I would say more than amazing

If you have the money just buy it I'm telling you that you woun't be dissapointed :) trust me

[luke662]

yeah its a quality little thing for the price. does get warm at times though

[MarcinM592]

i think it's called Cyberlink youcam but I will check tommoz :D

[MarcinM592]

yes the 4490 overheat because i have a cooling pad under it. :D but still its a good netbook

[maineyac]

MarcinM592, i have the same netbook, but i would just like to ask you, what is the name of the software for the webcam again because i had to totally reformat mine and have lost everything on it.

Thanks.

[easynoteguy1]

Its cyberlinks YouCam

You can find it in the c:/ drive on your netbook cause i have this one

[luke662]

i have one of these and they are very nice but id suggest the 4489 to any body looking for a netbook because it has a bigger keyboard,same price , and these do have overheating issues or at least mine does. the battery life is around 3 hours and mine runs the game spore without fault. i have 2gb of ram though. the ram is just normal soddim ddr2 2gb stick 533mhz (although the bus speed is only 400 on the cpu so you cant utilize faster rams full potential). yes i waffle..to summarise buy the 4489

[MarcinM592]

no not the ram is still not out in the shops yet but it might come out this year :(

[wazaka]

have you upgraded the ram yet.

i did not know it was possible

[MarcinM592]

there is a new ram for the Advent 4490 2GB and I will buy it soon it costs £24

[wazaka]

wow thanks for the info

[MarcinM592]

yeah i know i've deleted it ;D

[wazaka]

did u uninstall it

[wazaka]

did you know the lurchbar slow your netbook down

[easynoteguy1]

YES IT DOES

I uninstalled it

[MarcinM592]

good so did I it takes too much space :)

[MarcinM592]

the battery life is about 2.30hours to 3hours which is not bad for a tiny battery.

[ridiculousadventures]

Thanks - that's not bad at all. I'd been hearing vague rumours of less than 2 hours which would be less helpful!

[easynoteguy1]

It varys because mine dont tell me and i think it only lasts for about 1.5 hours

[ridiculousadventures]

Can you tell me about the battery life on this? It is the one thing I can't find a decent answer to anywhere!

[wazaka]

have you found any new thing about the netbook

[MarcinM592]

I will upgrade it soon but I'm searching for the parts...

[Exesta]

I really can't condone paying £220 for a netbook for the spec that you are getting. None of these netbooks will ever be bought by me unless they dropped to about £120, why? because most of the people that use PCs are usually at home etc i managed at uni without a laptop and id rather use my high spec desktop pc then a netbook with outdated hardware. A 2nd pc just for net browsing on the rare times your on the move is not worth £200 plus to me anyway. £120 could just be enough for me to buy!

[wazaka]

I understand what you mean but netbook was made for people who need it to go on the internet and do there work outside. I broth it because i need it mainly for my work and emailing, I do use it for gaming, halo work fine on it. But I dont think you will get it that cheep unless you wait a couple years.

[MarcinM592]

yeah the best netbook i have used ;D

[wazaka]

i bort this yesterday its great

[MarcinM592]

I would take the Advent 4490 because it's a great piece of machine,

very good netbook I just love it!

buy the 4490 :D
