Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Multi-purpose laptop
I have had the laptop for almost a year now, the main reason I bought it was that I could only take one "electronic device" with me (I work overseas) This Laptop combines the best of both worlds, it's a fast and agile computer (if you add more ram) and its a great wide screen DVD player (separate controls and you don't have to boot up the computer which adds to the battery life) It's great for travelers and college students with limited space. It has built in 802.11 b&g wireless so internet connections ... Read More
Rating:  - RAM not enough
Hi all,
although it depends on how you will use the computer, I can generally say that the 512Mb of RAM is not enough. Since the RAM is shared with the graphic card, windows normally opens at 350Mb or more. Therefore you normally use nearly all of the ram space which most of the time really bothers the user.
Rating:  - Excellent!!! Buy or Die!
If you're looking for a laptop with a good balance between price, performance and work, there's the one! It can provide you the best typing experience, 100% confortable, easily hot, and it even runs the most complicated games with HQ graphics!
Plus, it's a good student PC...
Rating: - Could use some minor improvement but I'm reasonably impressed!
Having never owned a laptop, I don't know how this laptop compares with similar models within the price range, but I'm reasonably impressed with the performance thus far (minor annoyances aside.)
I purchased the laptop primarily for it's mobility and the ability to send and receive streaming media (video) online. I was not disappointed. The processor is fast enough to handle the demands I've placed upon it; the images are vivid, crisp and clear. Audio is excellent, however, the low volumn level ... Read More
Rating:  - did not work
The computer that was given to me did not work from the beginning. It did not receive power. I sent it into the company and it has now been a month since I first sent it off. I am not pleased that I was not able to receive a replacement especially when I need a computer because I am in college.
