"Great Performance, Good Tech Support"
Pros: Fair CPU (can be upgraded), 3 gigabytes of RAM, 250 gig SATA hard drive, AWESOME graphics with the GeForce 8800M GTS. I can play all my games on max resolution with no lag. Good online technicians

"Great value, fits the mid-tier market perfectly"
Pros: High-end video, large hard drive, very affordable
Cons: Battery life is too low
Summary: Got mine for $1250 back in February and it's been solid for me. Vista behaves better if you turn off a few uneccessary services, and remove the pre-installed crap-ware. Crysis demo runs fine on medium settings. Large hard drive is nice to have,... read more >>

Pros: Price and performance!
Cons: I have none....but then again I do not use tech support....
Summary: It seems people are a little upset about this product because of tech support. To me this makes absolutely no since. If your purchasing this laptop chances are your 9 times out of 10 more capable of resolving tier 1 or 2 problems, which is the lev... read more >>
