The Advent Sienna 510 is a decent low-cost laptop, but the Acer Aspire 5742 is considerably better if you can find an extra £70

If you need a powerful laptop and aren't too bothered about portability or build quality, then the Sienna 510 is a steal for the price. Unfortunately, though, the build quality and portability really do let the side down. If either is important to you, head to PC World and try before you buy.

The Core i5-430M is a middle class dual core CPU that features only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.26-2.53 GHz (Turbo Mode). Furthermore, VT-d, trusted Execution and AES features are missing in the 430M. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 500-733 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
