Advent Altro review

Verdict:

Advent's Altro is impressively slender, but its small hard disk and incredibly slow processor mean it's impossible to recommend.

DSGi, Advent brand owner, cannot at this moment time supply spare mains adaptors for this notebook. That is a disgraceful state of affairs and a very good reason not to buy Advent.
