"It's an okay laptop for the price"
Pros: Choices in style and color, choices in components (if you order from Dell), affordable, Firewire port, lots of USB ports, keeps cool
Cons: The higher-end video card is crap, and the higher-end audio card is crap. I would not buy this laptop for video games - and if you're going to use this as a music composing workstation, you will still need to buy an external sound card.
Summary: I bought this laptop because I read that the laptop keeps cooler than most; it will do most common tasks and it's a decent laptop - just don't expect it to be a good gaming platform. If I had more money I would rather look into Lenovo.
As a software developer, this laptop seems to be holding up pretty good; I would definitely recommend a heat dissipation unit like the Gigabyte Rollpad or similar if you anticipate on compiling large amounts of code.
