A good unit if we have extra money and ready support.

Made by Mitac for Packard Bell.

Half decent processor, can pick up 2nd hand cheap.

BEWARE. PB won't confirm this, but there would seem to be a design fault with (the motherboard assembly of) these PCs. Many of these PC's pack in after about 16 months. Constantly coming up faulty on ebay.

Good if you want a cheap laptop to repair.
