Pros: Processor, Memory, Input/Output compatibility, Keyboard/peripherals, Wireless card, Display resolution, Screen size, Display performance, Video card, Battery, Software compatibility, Durability, Warranty, Support, Security Features<BR>Cons: Storage, Weight, Included Software This laptop has all the best features plus a wider screen for easy viewing. It's fast, economical and has great graphics capability. I enjoy watching videos on it and now I am converting my children's dance recitals from tape to dvd on it. It has all the connections you need including wireless connectivity.

Pros: Processor, Memory, Storage, Wireless card, Screen size, Display performance, Bluetooth, Build Quality<BR>Cons: Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Battery It is a solid piece of work with reasonable performance. I'm really happy with the built in blueTooth and wireless card. It is a bit heavy to lug around and the battery life is somewhat limited (even with 9-cell). It is disappointing to not have dvi - need docking station.

I could not believe how fast the shipping was! Received my laptop and fell in love with it instantly, the turbo Cache was worth every penny I spent, its been over 6 months now and the only complaint I had was the hard drive did not last long which was replaced in a heart beat the next day (lightning fast!) the finger print option is awesome and with the latest upgrade to the software I love it even more. I have upgraded the ram to 3gb which was simple and up graded the Hard Drive to 160 Gig and that too was simple. These laptops are built for hard users and I put mine through alot. the update software is awesome and when i feel like checking for updates its done with a simple click of a button. The wireless software is out of this world due to all of the graphical detail and ease of use. the only other thing i wish i had done was go all out getting top of the line options but I am happy with what i have. I have changed a few of my setting which slowed the performance down but that is a quick fix. over all the laptop is great and very sturdy the hinges stay tight, the rough texture of the laptop is perfect so heavy use does not show easily. I would like to have a better web cam software in the future with actual options. all in all this laptop is worth my hard earned dollar and I have no regrets.

best bang for your buck
