"Good machine for the buck"
Pros: Price, speed, storage and durability. Great compatibility with Linux too
Cons: Cooling fan, heavy and not enough ports
Summary: Overall, this laptop has served me well. I've taken it all over the world. It survived bumpy busrides through the mountains of Tibet--thought it is quite heavy. It is quite a zippy machine and a year and a half later it is still quite fast. One problem, I had to have the cooling fan and HDD replaced within the first year since the fan started to fail. I'm also wishing I had either A/V capability or S-Video as I do a lot of presentations and not everywhere I go has an LCD projector. I even ran Linux on the machine for a while before I had to take back the partition for storage purposes on Windows. Another drawback is that the screen surface gets permanent marks very easily.
