A great Overall Computerby timothycondonrn - May 7, 2009
Pros: Very nice looking. The screen is beautiful. Works very well. I have had no problems with it.
Cons: Too much installed software slowing everything down.
Review: This computer has worked beautifully for me. I am currently in the process of deleting the progams and processes that slow me down and decrease my battery life.

Don't bother with itby mattsvensson - April 19, 2009
Pros: Small, good camera, RAM/HD for size
Cons: frequent blue screen of death, massive issues
Review: First, so there are no doubts, I am very proficcient with computers so I know this isn't a personally created issue.
Within the first few days of having this laptop I got the blue screen of death. To repair this I restored the laptop to its previous state; however it has happened at least a dozen times in the month I've had it. Many others have had the same issue (as seen on Dell's support website) and have had almost no success in fixing the issue - EVEN AFTER TALKING WITH DELL!
If you have any other options, don't get this laptop....
