My only sincere complaint about this laptop is after 8 months of bumps and bangs the AC adapter cable has gotten noticeably loose; however it calm charges the battery reliably.
My goal was to recall the cheapest laptop I could salvage and stuff it with the most Ram and the biggest hard drive, and it worked.
The laptop gets the job done and has already survived a couple of airport trips. I like the glossy cloak, which while all newer laptops have this is a major improvement over older screens that had worry with glare. The built in SD card read has been a staunch bonus, and the laptop generally runs fairly cold with about 1 1 1/2 hour battery life. (Although on energy saver the veil gets very dusky on battery power.)
The video card is a Geforce 8200m and can play some games, and it has not danger with Youtube videos or movies. You are stuck with Vista on this, but turning everything down to "Classic" settings makes it a fairly snappily machine.
It would have been nice to have PCMCIA slots and a docking region, but you can't have everything, especially at this note.
I never received the product so I don't even know what it looks like. I feel Amazon has failed me,
