    "Prepare to be entertained (and at a good price to)." on by JHop19

    Pros: Great processor, nice *multi-touch* mousepad, keypad on right hand side (handy), on-keyboard touch buttons for video and song options (play/pause, skip etc..), amazing speakers, sweet design (black-onyx..very cool-looking), HOURS of battery life.

    Cons: Fingerprints..they stay unless you clean them off, kind of slippery keyboard which can be nice for very fast typing but not really good for general things, a little clunky cuz of the battery.

    Summary: Great system overall. The keyboard is really the only downside, mainly because of the grease that will rub off your fingers and create fingerprints on the board. The multi-touch mousepad is great once you can figure out how to use it :P
    My favorite part is the battery. It kind of helps itself, because it has 12 cells inside, so it's really big, but since it's big it lifts the computer up as to create for some nice airflow. This makes the battery last longer.
    The screen is really nice. It's TruBrite, I know HP uses that in a lot of their laptops, and those laptop screens are amazing. This is the same, and with HD it's even better. It is truly a great screen.
    Speakers typically are not as good as the ones that come with this system. They're located on the keyboard in the top right and left. Wonderful quality, and they look nice too. Makes the laptop look like it's built for entertainment (and yeah, it is), which brings us to the processor and RAM...
    The processor is like an added bonus. It's a little upgraded from the previous version, and works great. With 4gb of RAM, this thing will get you through all the apps you have to run.
    The whole system really is made for entertainment. With the on-keyboard touch buttons to navigate easier and great speakers, it's truly built for media. This PC will display great HD movies on the screen, and will even load 100 more movies at the same time thanks to the RAM and processor.
    It's got enough USB ports, with one port being a multi-port type thing.
    I have tried playing games on it (some 3-D and graphic-intense games), and it surprisingly works well. Browser games are a breeze for this PC, nothing to worry about there.
    Overall, this is great for some gaming, entertainment, all kinds of media.

    Prepare to be entertained ;)

    I like some online gaming (combat arms, maybe some call of duty), would the given graphics card work in your experience or would I need to buy a new one to install for upgrade?
