I have had this particular model for a little over 12 months now and have to say that it is a good piece of kit. The p4 processor is pretty rapid and it has all the features you could want in a laptop, DVD-RW, Integrated wireless card, SD card slot & 4 usb slots come in handy. The screen is an excellent size and is great for watchin dvd's etc making it truly as good as a desktop but being portable. The only downside, which sort of goes hand in hand with having all these features is that it is bulky for a laptop and actually quite heavy, which is not great if used for business.... but I use mine around the home so isn't too much of a problem. The only other negative comment is on the battery life.... you are talking 45mins top even when the icon tells you otherwise. You must carry the power cable with you at all times!!
