    "Great Notebook for the Money"

    by bamatt on July 2, 2005

    Pros: price, performance, large clear display

    Cons: so-so speakers, battery life

    Summary: I got this computer for a steal at $699 (after rebates). The display is good. The processor is fast. It comes preloaded with plenty of software. I don't see why anyone would spend $1300+ on a notebook (unless you plan to work with very large files). Hook up to a Linksys Wireless G router was a breeze. Battery life isn't the greatest but I use mostly with A/C plug so is not a problem for me. Sound is adequate for normal computing but you will want to hook up external speakers for viewing DVD's & listening to MP3's. I highly recommend this notebook to anyone looking for a solid performer at a bargain price.
