Now I wouldn't call this a laptop, Id call this a machine. The sheer size of this beast makes it less portable for a laptop, but makes it great as a replacement desktop which will no doubt runs as fast and take up a lot less room.
This laptop has been designed for anyone who is looking for something specifically made for multimedia purposes. It features a fabulous 20.1 inch TFT screen which, for a laptop is huge. This is great for watching movies on, for playing realistic games on and is just great if you want a fantastic big screen.
However the screen being this size does make the laptop really less portable, however it still wouldn't be impossible to take this laptop where ever you want and I think the features it has makes up for this small downside.
This laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, which lets the laptop run at great speeds, and also the 2 gb of built in ram lets you run demanding software and high spec games.
This ram can also be upgraded to a massive 4 gb, this can be great if you do need even more ram, though I do doubt anyone will need this laptop any faster than it already is.
Now, the buying point of this laptop must be its screen size, but why? Well, this laptop also has a HD DVD-ROM - integrated DVD drive which means you can play blu-ray disks in HD on this laptop and you can even watch recorded HD content with amazing quality playback, whether its from your HD digital camera or just taped of a HD channel.
Yet another great thing about this laptop is its great design. The top of the laptop (the screen) is black, however is not just dull boring black, it's a shiny polished black surface which makes the laptop look that bit more classy. The bottom part of the laptop (the keyboard section) is a mixture of black and silver, this mixture makes the laptop look a lot more stylish and you only have to look at this laptop to tell its great.
Hidden away at the top of the screen is a fantastic built in webcam. This webcam is great quality and doesn't look out of place at the top of this screen, in fact for once I think I can say this laptop wouldn't look as good if it didn't have this webcam.
This laptop has not just one, but two hard disk drives, one is 160 gb and the other is, you guessed it 160 gb. Which means your getting, a huge 360gb of storage space, well what more could you need than that.
This laptop also has a 5 in 1 card reader too, which reads any of: SD Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card which makes getting pictures from your cameras even easier.
This laptops battery life is great for its screen size. It lasts one and a half hours which to say it has a 20 inch screen and of HD quality too, its really amazing.
All this great comes at a cost, its weight, and this one weighs in at a pretty impressive 7.7 kg, which is pretty hefty.
Altogether the effort that has gone into producing this great machine must be a lot, this is one of the greatest laptops I have seen in quite a while and just beats its competitors in all the right places.
If you want something that's new and up to date then this one is defiantly for you, they are dear though and will set you back around £1400. However, even though that must seem like a lot, if you need something for business, and maybe you are a designed in media, do animations or make music, then this is defiantly the laptop for you.
