I myself do not own this product. However my friends owns this particular product and I use it very frequently.

This laptop is great for playing games with its seventeen inch HD screen, even better for watching movies, great for surfing the internet as it has 2.4 GHZ (Giga Hertz ) processor speed. There is enough memory ( 2GB) and it includes Windows XP Professional. Not only does it contain these excellent range of features, it also includes : innovative touchpanel, a new graphics chip with an HDMI output and the option to run Windows Vista.

I myself do agree that looks and design wise this product does not cut it - in short its not pleasant to look at every time you go to upon it up to finish off you dissertation!

Nevertheless the innovative touchpanel can be used to launch a variety of applications and adjust volume which reduces time and effort.

With regards to graphics: nVidia's Quadro FX 1600M is a brilliant chip for watching movies and playing up-to-date games. The use of this chip also allows a HDMI port to connect to LCD tvs and plasmas which is genius....I love connecting this laptop (at my friend's house) to his 37 inch LCD and watch HD DVD movies....this truly is innovation at its peak!

In conclusion many people have regarded this product as the 'best' 17 inch laptops on the market. However the same sources claim that it is not as light and good looking as its rival: the Macbook Pro.
