I had a Novatech Laptop a couple years ago, had a few problems during its life including having to send it back to get its screen fixed. It died completely after just over a year... my sister had the same model and it died sooner.
It could have just been that one model, but either way I don't trust them any more when there are more reliable manufactures out there. But a spare battery was easy to get from Novatech but eBay is probably cheaper.
