Packard Bell iXtreme I6525UK


Packard Bell iXtreme I6525UK

 The computer is very fast and powerful. 

1 terabyte hard drive and 6GB of memory. 
It was fairly easy to set up. 
Pre-installed anti-virus and firewall. (Norton). 
Windows 7 itself is very good. I'd always been used to using Windows XP, but Windows 7 is much easier and the interface looks better. 
Hardware drivers are downloaded and installed automatically as soon as you connect them to the PC. 
The DVD drive works with either +RW or -RW disks. 
There are several USB ports near the front of the PC.
Bad points:
I couldn't get the wireless keyboard (included in the package) to work, so I'm using a USB keyboard for the time being, which is what I'm used to. I have to say, I've never been overly keen on the idea of wireless keyboards/mice, as I'm afraid the batteries might run out while I'm in the middle of an important task! The wireless mouse is working OK though. 
My old scanner isn't compatible, but this is to do with Windows 7 rather than the computer itself
