What's great about it:?Display What's not so great:?Battery Life, Touch Pad Media Functions, No Numpad "This laptop was advertised at about 3 hours 40 minutes. On average, it only lasted about 1 hour 30 minutes to two hours. The graphics could've been better, and so too the processor. Dual Core was not enough to handle the processing power I needed. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Sleak design, professional looking, mobile processor, good RAM, expandable, HDMI port What's not so great:?Slightly heavier than other laptops of it's size, No 10-key for a 15.6" where others have it "The laptop has been great so far. I've seen some of the other reviews saying the keys have to be pressed hard, which is somewhat true. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Price, camera, ram, processor top 1% ranked What's not so great:?smudges "I bought this for 500 and it is great. The keyboard is a little annoying if you dont press kind of hard. from Bestbuy.com "The product need to be a balance between performance and price. This laptop has almost everything that you need for a everyday basis. Good processorGood batteryGood ScreenGood HDBut the keyboard is the worst quality that i have ever seen. They keystrokes fail most part of time. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?the price What's not so great:?ever thing is good at this time had the laptop for a week "well frist off i shoped for a laptop for about 2 week form cl to ebay to ever where and what i came up with is this laptop is the best bang for the buck hands down if u can find a better one for the price good luck too u from Bestbuy.com I loved the way this looked. It seemed very fast, It got me going out of the box... then I actually tried to use it for more than a good time.... outside of speed and great video... from Bestbuy.com It has a sleek design, good amount of gigs, processes very well, and the price is awesome compared to what you would get in many other brands! I highly recommend this computer. I am now looking for a Gateway One to replace my stolen VAIO all-in-one LOL! from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Wide-Screen Display; Fast and Easy Internet Connection; Bulit-in Webcam+Mic; Price What's not so great:?Keyboard - stiff, hard to get used to; Has slight problems running some programs "Alot of people praise this laptop, as I think they should, but it isn't quite THAT great. But, alot of people are also beating on it for no apparent reason. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?good price What's not so great:?poor wattage on battery charger unit "If I try to work on this laptop while battery is charging the charger becomes so hot after 30 min. of charging it will burn your hand. from Bestbuy.com I just purchased this laptop from Best Buy yesterday, and I'm pleased so far with the results. I was a little apprehensive about making the switch to Vista 64 bit, but so far, so good. from Amazon.com
