I bought this about two weeks ago when it was on sale for under three hundred bucks. I have been using a Macbook Pro for the last 4 years, which is great but which is also my wife’s computer. With the kids and I also trying to use her computer I figured it was time to pony up for a second laptop.
Pluses:
1. Price
2. functions just fine for internet, watching DVDs, You Tube, Itunes, etc. no noticable difference in quality of images or streaming from my high end Mac.
3. Costs less than a netbook, has a dvd player/recorder.
4. Battery life is actually very good – 4+ hours so far for regular surfing. video knows it down to about 3 hours.
Fairly solid feel to it for being a hunk of plastic
Back has all sorts of access panels for people that want to change out the hard drive or add more RAM
My Age of Mythology game works just fine on it.
Minuses:
#1 gripe – no HDMI port. Bummer. HAs some cheesy aavi port but I haven’t bothered to figure out if I can convert that to HDMI. Whoops on their part, but then agin, this thing cost me less than most netbooks.
Speakers are lousy. If you mess with the EQ and SRS Wow you can get it to an aceptable level, but out of the box they sound like they are tin cans. Fine with headphones.
Keyboard is okay – does not have a high quality feel to it. easier to type mistakes than on my Mac.
Windows 7 is…… nothing more than XP with a couple of the bugs fixed and an interface that makes it harder to find things if you are used to XP or 2000.
Boot of programs is a bit slow. I think this could be a WIndows issue more than a hardware issue.
Ovberall – works just fine for a cheap laptop. don’t need to pay twice as much if all you do is surf the net and watch TV on it.

inexpensive for its power and speed. good looking. large brilliant screen with wonderful colors.
key board and internal speakers are an issue. poor speakers and a poor keyboard.
buyers may wish to experiment with external speakers and external keyboard if you are going to be using the keyboard a lot for text entry.
the computer itself is quite powerful for its cost, no heat, no noise, no processor or fan noise or vibration.
looks to be solid build. not the lightest laptop, but solidly built.also WIN 7 does have some glitches related to compatibility and proprietary issues with other Microsoft software,
Microsoft and WIN 7 does not like Google Chrome, for example, some issues with MS software downloads with Chrome, with Win 7. however,
XP computers are hard to get now unfortunately.
if you need to do serious text entry and require a really good keyboard, I would suggest that you spend some time with this keyboard before buying this computer. make sure it will work for you.
do not buy it sight unseen and untested. if the keyboard and internal speakers are not important to you, this laptop might work for you.
despite this laptops high processor power for the price, and other good points, IF you require an excellent keyboard and/or speakers with normal volume, I would not recommend this laptop.

I picked this up for under $300, without even testing it out! I’ve been using it for two weeks and have no real complaints, except that the speakers sound really tinny. Not a problem for me, since this laptop is used mainly for email and websurfing. It seems like a sturdily built, if kind of heavy and cumbersome laptop. Unlike the other reviewers, I found the keyboard comfortable. I have burned some DVDs and had no issues. Windows 7 is a plus, way better than Windows Vista. The touchpad seems more responsive than some others on more expensive laptops. Monitor is okay, a little fuzzier than the expensive machines, but not bad at all. This would be a great first laptop for anyone. I hope it turns out to be as durable as it feels. I recommend this.
