If this 16-inch laptop is any indication, the Centrino 2 platform offers excellent battery life ; 16:9 screen perfect for HD movies ; excellent keyboard ; attractive, simple design

The screen dimentions are awsome, the keyboard is really neat. And if youve seen the commercials they're pretty cool.
No more than a week of owning it, I'm having monitor problems. Now just over a month I realize that its a real problem. It wont turn on, and even with an external monitor... nothing. Thats convinient, real nice. So the whole thing is garbage.
