Great Laptop!! 100% Satisfied May 15, 2011
Exceeds expectations This computer is really great for the price. Along with the extended accidental handling warranty nothing can go wrong. April 24, 2011
very nice computer. design is simple yet strong. screen is nothing to write home about but I use the hdmi output on my 50" t.v. so really its not an issue but might be for some understandably. Nice laptop for gaming without breaking the bank. I look forward to watching my blu-ray movies on the go. March 29, 2011
Terrible key labels and lights The "fn" key labels are a deep blue which is nearly invisible under normal home room lighting. LEDs under keys can be seen at normal working angle which becomes even worse when slouched in comfy chair. March 27, 2011
