Exceeds Expectations! Have had this laptop for 2 weeks now. Able to run multiple apps concurrently without any sort of a glitch! One of the concerns that I had when I bought the laptop was the color, wasn't sure if it would sit well in a professional setting. It turned out to have a different shade of blue than what is shown on the website and is much better. With multiple apps or movie running though, do not expect a battery life of more than 2 hrs (standard battery). January 19, 2011
