Having owned this product for half a year now, I can safely say that this is a beast of a machine. It has high specifications at an affordable price, and the screen size is perfect for people like me who use it for art and design purposes. The size of this laptop makes this far less portable than many other laptops, however if you were looking for a laptop that only occasionally needed to be moved for other purposes, than this is a great purchase. The battery life is a little weak at between 1-2 hours (usually closer to 1) however I tend to keep it plugged in at most times, so I never really feel the effects of this drawback.

On the plus side, the Core 2 Duo processor with 2.4GHz keeps the system running at an amazing speed coupled with the 4GB RAM, perfect for multitasking (easy with such a large screen) or high end graphics production, which is what I use it for.
