Advent Monza E1 (Green) Specifications, Reviews and Shopping

Advent Monza E1 Green Review posted on 2012-02-11
15.6 inch Mainstream Notebook
While the gorgeous screen, fantastic storage and eye-catching design make the Monza E1 a decent entry-level laptop for those on a budget, the poor performance, flawed usability and awful battery life are just too prominent to ignore. There are far better laptops you can buy at this price and so the Advent is very hard to recommend.
