Advantages: Price / Performance

Disadvantages: Dark Screen, HDDVD drive, poor battery life

Purchased through 'Amazon Warehouse' was described as 'slight cosmetic blemishes' when recieved there was nothing of the sort. Laptop was in pristine condition. Excellent value for money, but make sure that the model you purchase has the GeForce graphics chipset to make it more usuable in a modern gaming context.

Whilst this laptop is quite large and is not great for someone on the move it is quite light for the size. I would consider this if you are looking for a desktop replacement rather than something inherently portable.

One of the USB connecters now seems to be faulty, however as there is 2 others this is not much of an issue. Comes with HDDVD drive which functions perfectly well as a standard DVD/RW drive. Screen can get very dark when not plugged in and the battery life is nothing to write home about but the abundance of features and with some tweaking, performance make this a good buy for someone on a budget.
