Pros: fast, powerful, can handwrite documents, great grafics

Cons: hr standard battery, but easily expandable

I've had this laptop for about 3 months now, and it continues to amaze me. Its fast, the screen resolution is great. It comes with alot of convenient software, thats great for studying and school. Such as one note, which is like a digital binder ...where all of your notes written on screen can be kept along with snippings of web pages, handouts, online syllabus clippings, everything. All organized in folders and sections. I have never been this organized. Digital note cards. equation writer, ink desktop...etc. At first I didn't expect to game on this laptop and I did not expect much from the ATI mobility radeon x600 raphics card but It works great with games such as couter strike, half life 2, and HL 2 episode 1. Overall im very satisfied. I do not carry any notebooks to my classes, just a back pack with my laptop. I use the stylus to write my notes on my laptop, and I have an SD card in the front slot to keep all of my backed up work. You get so much for such a great price 100 gb hard drive, great grafics card, 1.7 ghz processor, 1 gig ram Read more Less
