Have to say its not a bad laptop. I hate that the screen is so reflective, as on a sunny day you just cant see anything. I am a bit disappointed that they don’t put wimax cards in them but some would say the infrastructure should come first. The one I have runs windows 7 and I do love it more so than Vista or though it is still a heavy OS. The built in camera is nothing special but about right for the price I guess. One last thing is there are lots of options for conductivity including an eSATA connection (which is nice) but there is only one USB port. Clearly they think everyone should get Bluetooth (yes it has bluetooth) mouse and keyboard but I have read a number of people complaining that the bluetooth is not reliable. So I continue to just plug in my mouse for now. The good Conductivity is good Runs windows 7 well The bad Screen to reflective Only one USB socket Battery life is only about 2.5 hours Gets quite hot I have one for work.
