i bought this laptop at christmas and it has been rather good for the money i paid for it. the only downside was that it crashed about 3 times in the last 5 months. vista slows the computer down and i would recommend using xp. overall for the price of the laptop you are getting a reasonable value for money. if you have a bigger budget i would recommend buying a mac. these are good investments and that going to be my next laptop. the build quality is reasonable, but as i previously said it still feels like a laptop that may not stand up to another six months of use. i use it on a regular basis for my studies and its just about does a good job. one downside is the internet cable connection and the power connection. these have to be used carefully because they loose connection easily.
