Overall rating because im very happy to say every thing I read on forums and reviews is true, its potentially very reliable, powerful and very fast, for this price nobody can touch this winner with a 10 foot pole.
Features where just perfect, connectivity, internals, 2 remote control's, accessories and performance, it exceeded my expectations.
The built in TV tuner and the fact that I can connect a 2nd monitor means I can take this computer with me on vacation, have Television access and be able to play games off of a single computer, how cool is that!.
The most important thing to me: It runs very cool, I can actually use this laptop on my lap while the ATI radeon HD4530 runs a cool 28c and about 44c while doing something intensive, this tells me it should last quite a few years.
CONS: Fingerprint magnet
I would recommend this laptop, its literally cool enough for Newbie users.
Bought when 1st came out 8-10 months ago, Great deal Loaded with extra's had list of almost $1200.00, but was not picked up someone ordered for husband, I got for base price, total cost with 7% sales tax $815.00. check for returns (other than broken) and GREAT deals await.
This Labtop is absolutely great! I use to use my mother's labtop which was an entertainment labtop as well the screen was a little smaller,when I needed to do my schoolwork. I recieved this as a graduation gift.
The Benefit is being able to watch or record tv,movies,or music; even able to connect to my regular tv and use as screen =)
The Con is the dim on the screen when not connected to charger.A little to dark
