"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Gaming and Business ability originally
What I don't like:
Flawed GPU 8800m SLI keeps failing
Review:
Originally bought the latop to complete business and gaming functions, was great for a short time until failures started to happen. The main flaw in the laptop is the 8800m GPU system it gets to hot and burns out on a regular basis. The internet forums and dells own community site has numerous examples, In my opinion do not buy this laptop new or secondhand unless you want an expensive doorstop. Dell has not got the resplacement parts for these and will try to make you wait long periods of time to repair with what is meant to be a Premium Next Businees Day warranty service.

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
