GREAT BUY

I bought this laptop as a gift for my brother. I opened it and fell in love with it. It is light, quiet and slick looking. The is a powerful (64bit) good looking laptop. The little extras like MDC remote, TV Antenna, rebate are a plus. Great buy

I spent about 2 hours deleting all the junk that came pre-installed. Nowadays, I do that with any brand new pc or laptop you buy

Fair Deal

all and all, great laptop for the money, all you could ever want for just a little over 1K.

Very nice screen, great sound for a laptop, wireless is excellent, lots of USBs, graphics card can handle most games from yesterday and few of today, the webcam program it came with is kinda fun, but I'm sure there's better out there, I just never seen...

quicktouch needs to be fixed as stated on other reviews, it's a fingerprint magnet, quite a bit of bloatware on it, but easy to get rid of, the hard dives are a odd partition with a recovery on 12G of the drive, of course have to make your own recovery...

incredible

buy it you'll like it best notebook i could find for the money

very nice laptop, came to me in perfect condition everything runs properly, 64-bit! overall a great machine ; 17" screen

17" screen drains the battery alot faster than a smaller screen (worth it to me though for photo editing) ; 300Gb***** says 320 but mine is only 300 no biggie though i have a 500 external :P ; vista (BUT it is 64-bit)

AWESOME LAPTOP!!!!

When I first opened the box i first noticed the design was VERY nice...the specs on it are awesome...big HD space...Core 2 Duo...nice video card...this is also a very durable laptop, i was surprised I dropped it quit a few times and it still runs...

The only con is that it came with Vista...once you UPGRADE :) to XP you will no problem
