I bought this laptop a few months ago because firstly, I wanted a full-size keyboard (being a touch typist), secondly I wanted a decent graphics card for gaming (comes with nVidia card) and thirdly, my laptop never travels so I wanted a large screen.

A few months down the line and I am very happy with it! The gaming is absolutely great (and so is the touch-typing!). It is fantastic to have a large screen - in fact, it seems really weird if I revert to my small standby laptop now!

Another plus point is that the 17 inch display gives crisp images and is really good for working with photos or playing DVDs.

Although personally I don't travel with this laptop, it is constructed from magnesium alloy, which is tougher than the plastics used on many other laptops.
