Amazing Valveby e2 blade - June 26, 2008
Pros: Extremely Fast, Price, Looks Good
Cons: Could have better battery life
Review:
I have owned this note book for about a week now, i have owned many computers, build them and such. but this time i wanted something that was cheap and fast, i stumbled apon this notebook in the back of best buy and was comparing specs with every notebook before i bought it. the deal was amazing, so i took it home proud of what i bought. This computer is hands down FAST. Even with vista it is amazing. I personally do photo and video editing, the notebook handles it with ease. There is just no wait time with programs. Games run extremely smooth thanks to this 9500M. I can turn up the graphics on most games with 60 FPS constantly. I EXTREMELY would recommend this product to ANYONE. for 1100 bucks, nothing beats it....for the time being
the only reason i am not giving it a 10 is because it doesnt have a CF card slot, the cameras i work with require the CF cards and is a hassle having to hook them up via usb. and the battery life is a bit disapointing, 2 hours on battery save mode. other than that. it suits my needs perfectly.
