"Best Laptop In Its Class!"

By jdwilliams1231 (cnet.com)

Bottom line is I would recommend this laptop ... 

Webcam , Harman Kardon stereo speakers w touch media controls above keyboard, Large area to rest your wrist while typing, Excellent WiFi, pci slot, serial ATA, dvd burner, 3gb of mem, 320gb hd, t6400 centrino core 2 duo, wireless a/g/n

media controls lack volume control, dvd burner has labelflash not lightscribe not sure which is more effecient, when typing on home keys touch pad is a bit sensitive but can be adjusted. These are minor to me except I have a lot of lightscribe discs
