This laptop is quality through and through. It's big bold and beautiful!
I have had this laptop for almost a year now. It is hands down the best laptop that I have owned.
The main selling point at the time was the included blu-ray player, this along with hdmi out, means that this is still my main blu-ray player on my 37" sony television. I will continue to use it like this until recordable blu-ray becomes affordable.
It's built in 17" screen is so bright, that I often find myself watching movies just on the laptop. The downside to this bright and glossy display comes when you take it outside, even on a cloudy day it is virtually impossible to see the screen outside. This is disappointing as it can be nice sitting in the garden in the summer.
The built in speakers are fine, and even come with a mini subwoofer, although if you want real quality then plug in a pair of decent headphones and you will be immersed in whatever you are listening to.
As a games machine it was unsurpassed, I would bet that it still stands up well today. Wireless is great, I have used is all over the house/garden.
A little bit of a downside, I have had a couple keys/blanking plates come loose, a quick tap and they have remained in place ever since.
Another problem is that this laptop was very hard to find, I ended up buying it brand new on ebay, as I couldn't get hold of it elsewhere. This may still be the case, if so you can certainly grab yourself a bargain when comparing the spec with other manufactures.
As I said this machine is quality, from the metal keys, to the light up media functions (I use the volume one all the time) onto the big screen. For such a large laptop the battery life is also very good.
If you can find one, then don't hesitate to buy!
