Review quote (reg hardware)

“Evesham has delivered impressive latest-generation Centrino Duo power and a useful Media Centre laptop. However, we didn’t much like the laptop’s look, and we were also troubled by the disparity in performance when we used the machine on battery, even when we had all of the performance sliders set to max.”
