UK computer reviews and recommendations for pcs, laptops, desktops, hardware and software providers.

Inside the Advent 9212 there is an Intel core 2 processor and 2Gb of memory which will run any internet, e-mail, office or media applications with ease. This amount of processing power is impressive for a very compact laptop which has a price tag of less than £500.

The graphics card is a standard integrated card built on to the mother board which will be suitable for running Windows Vista and media applications but this is not a gaming machine so the newest graphical intensive games will not run on the 9212.

Media:  Large 160Gb hard disk with a small 12" screen making for a very portable laptop

For media there is a large 160GB hard disk which is an impressive size for a laptop this size and price. The screen is only 12 inch wide but it is easy to see and will display media in good clarity. The advantage of the small screen is that this laptop is very compact and only weighs a meagre 1.83kg.

The Advent 9212 is a great ultra-portable laptop for a very good price. It is the ideal laptop for anyone who needs a computer which they can carry around with them all day and use literally at any time or place.
