Generally good July 20, 2010
AKA
I'm not really a techy and bought this as my hubby said it was a good deal. Having had this laptop for nearly two months, I would definitely recommend it to others.
It's lightweight, runs quickly, and cosmetically looks good. The spaced out keys are an interesting feature and I appreciate having to connect the CD drive (included in the package) as it adds to the light weight of the laptop. The CD Drive works quickly even though at times I have found inserting the USB into the laptop a bit difficult (the USB fits really tightly into the port so it's difficult at times to take it out without having the fear that you're going to break the USB).
Also work does need to be done on the Touch pad as all too often, whilst I'm writing, the mouse cursor will find it self elsewhere on the screen (due to the touch pad being sensitive) and therefore I need to stop and reposition the cursor. Even though the Touch Pad does have an off button it's easy to forget to use this when multitasking.
Overall, if you're happy to make do with the USB attachment dilemma and the Touch Pad dilemma then this laptop is a really good laptop to have for studies/work.
 Brilliant, only few tiny problems July 16, 2010

First of all, the laptop looks fantastic, with the stainless steel finish and lovely keyboard. Also, it's very light, which makes it very easy to carry around.
The battery life is miles better than any other laptop I have used, as I could use it for an entire day on just the battery. Even when watching movies, the battery can last for several hours, without the need for a charger. Speaking of watching movies, the LED screen has brilliant quality, although the reflection can be annoying at times.
There is not an integrated DVD drive, rather an external LightScribe drive. This suits me, as an internal one would have made the laptop bigger and heavier. With an external drive, I can keep it away until I need it. Also, it can write in practically any DVD format, which is a huge plus.
On the other hand though, there are one or two small problems. Firstly, when the laptop awakes from sleep mode, the mouse can sometimes freeze, and requires a restart to work again. Also, the speakers just aren't powerful enough. I use headphones a lot of the time, so it doesn't affect me, but it needs to be mentioned.
Still, apart from that, it is a fantastic laptop, and deserves 5 stars nonetheless. It is well recommended to anybody.
Power and portability... June 13, 2010

This is the closest laptop I have found to a Aluminium MacBook on a Windows Platform. Great metal finish, a responsive keypad and this laptop is highly portable without sacrificing performance. The lack of built-in optical drive may not suit everyone, but I don't find that an issue and like the reduced weight and depth that results. Plays video such as iPlayer well, so what's not to like?
Well... a bigger track pad would be welcome, the 'on' switch feels a bit flimsy (and would be better if it weren't on the side of the PC) and the chrome trim around the laptop's edge may have some fit & finish tolerance issues, but these are very minor quibbles. For the price there is not much to touch this laptop. Overall very pleased.
