Good: Not too heavy or big to cart around, brilliant screen, nice to use keyboard and great overall design. Very good for multimedia apps.
Bad: Battery charge life not great. Poor latch design - they're flimsy plastic (one of mine broke just with normal use) and now doesnt hibernate when I clo
Comment: Could do with a bit more oomph in the power stakes. 128Mb Nvidia can handle reasonably demanding 3D games but forget about Half Life 2 or similar. Everything looks great on the crystal clear screen - photo's, web pages, dvd movies etc. Sound output is superb - when plugged into an amp. Built in speakers are adequate. Doesnt run too hot. I've had it for 6 months and I'm happy with it's capabilities. Also I paid £1,050 in a store so remember don't accept the price on the sticker - bargain down.

Good: I think the display is as close to perfect as I have seen
Bad: The battery life is terrible
Comment: I don't know if I have a problem with mine, but even after an overnight charge, by the time it's fired up the battery is down to 90 per cent.
Just browsing Net pages on a wireless network sees 50 per cent battery left after 30 to 40 minutes.
As for performance, overall it's okay, but it just feels a little more sluggish than I expected.

Good: Great screen, processor speed, recovery tool, DESIGN, weight, 100GB, NVIDIA GeForce 6200 128MB...
Bad: Hard disk speed can be considered as only disadvantage
Comment: Have no regrets at all. Great features in a great package... highly recommended :-))
