The keys are large and, apart from a slightly awkward right Shift key, in all the expected places. The flat keys may irk touch-typists, but it feels sturdier and doesn't flex as much. The keyboard is slightly better than the 5511's. The backlight is even, though, and contrast relatively good. You'll have to position the laptop carefully to find the optimum position where colours appear consistent across the entire screen. The display has accurate colour reproduction but has limited viewing angles. This makes colours look more vibrant but reflects any nearby light sources. The glossy bezel matches the glossy finish on the 15.4in screen. It still has the ridged texture around the keyboard, though, which quickly attracts dust. The rigid lid has the same smart pinstripe design, and the two-tone case adds a bit of style. In terms of design, the 5612 doesn't stray far from the Budget Buy award-winning 5511. The 5612 comes with a 15.4in screen with a 1,280x800 resolution, Windows Vista, a dual-core processor and an optical drive - features not found on any netbook in our last group test. Advent's latest budget laptop only costs around £50 more than many netbooks.
