The Good
At the adequate price tag the Advent Modena gives you a 320GB hard drive which provides more than enough space  to store music, photos and videos, which can be easily burned to  your own CDs and DVDs using the built-in DVD rewriter. The size of memory also allows you to multitask smoothly. With the Advent Modena giving high-speed wireless connectivity which is provided by an integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi an additional feature is given. An integrated camera is in place, fitted above the screen.
The Bad
A problem of the Advent Modena is the very short life span of the battery only lasting 3 hours however for a laptop under £350 this is more than adequate. Another problem is the integrated graphics which shares the memory with all tasks and not dedicating memory to graphics. With high-definition video and high-resolution image editing can quickly bring the GPU to its knees.
What you need to know
A basic, good looking laptop that, for its price, is one of the best of its kind giving great value for its price. Even though this won't be the first on your list for a multimedia machine it certainly, and comforatbly, will cope with the demands of daily laptop usage including multi-tasking. It's a cost effective solution that the entire family can use.

The Advent Modena is driven by the powerful Intel Celeron dual-core T3100 with a processing speed of 1.9GHz. Windows 7 Home Premium guarantees smooth multitasking. The spacious 320GB hard drive lets you store everything from multimedia files to documents.

The slim chassis carries the same design scheme from the Advent range, but its patterned glossy lid and matt-plastic interior creates a nice contrast. At 2.5kg, this is a machine that is easy to use around the home or on shorter journeys. With a depth of just 33mm, it slips easily into a carry case, also the battery runs for under three hours. Usability is pleasing, with the isolated-style keyboard proving very comfortable to use.

An amazing feature of this laptop is the performance of the wireless connectivity, as the Advent Modena comes with a 802.11n wireless integrated card. A numeric keypad is fitted on the board's right-hand side, for fast data input and making quick calculations, and the glossy textured touchpad is tactile and works well. The most notable feature of this machine is its vibrant 15.6-inch screen. The colour and contrast is quite fantastic and really brings photos and movies to life. Even the glossy Super-TFT coating is less reflective then the other Advents in this range.

At this low price, the Advent Modena performs for the price you get it for but comes with amazing features.
