We like:
Pretty design; reasonable price
We don't like:
Has Centrino, not Centrino 2 architecture; stiff mouse selector buttons; doesn't smell enough
CNET UK judgement:
The F6V is a very good laptop, but don't believe the hype about the smell. Unless you're a dog, you can hardly smell anything. Thankfully, it's very good-looking, fairly quick and quite affordable. Laptops such as the Dell XPS M1330 give it a good run for its money, but if you're after something different, it's definitely worthy of consideration
