Which Laptop

The Packard Bell Dot S2 is the follow up to the dot S. The company have released a large range of netbooks over the last few years and this is a quality 10.1″ follow up.

It comes in a range of colours with a solid casing that looks great. It weighs just 1.2Kg so is a light machine as well. The interior keyboard and screen look fantastic. It has a good battery power and while it can’t go as long as the Samsung N210, it can still deliver a comfortable 8 hours from one charge.

It has a very usable keyboard that can suit even those with larger finders. The monitor is very bright and produces a sharp picture.

The spec is a standard netbook one with a moderate processor and 1GB RAM allowing basic multi tasking such as music, browsing the web and using an office application.

This machine provides stylish looks, a solid build, excellent performance and good battery life. It should definitely be on your shortlist if you are looking to decide which laptop to buy.

The Packard Bell Dot S is the latest netbook from the firm that is now owned by Acer.
The Dot S features many of the standard netbook features but there are a few extras. Firstly, it has the fastest Intel Atom processor currently available making it slightly faster than its competition.

Another great feature is the battery. It will easily keep running for over six hours. It also looks great. The casing comes in many different colours. The keyboard is a good size and easy to type on and although the trackpad is a little smaller than normal, it is also easy to use.

It comes with a great screen but a touch screen monitor would work well with it as an extra.

It features a 10.1″ screen, 160GB hard disk and 1GB RAM. It has some plus points such as the processor and battery but there is nothing completely revolutionary about this machine.
