Nice machine, the model i have it comes with Multiburner and I upgraded to1Gb ram. Good video card, it comes with lots of utility for configuration and drivers can be automatically downloaded from the web.And so far the good points...bad notes now..I had hard disk replaced twice in first 6 months of life.First hard disk start doing tick tick noises, then machines goes blue screen, then it hangs on boot...with no error on display and you can still hear Hard disk spinning and light reporting HD activity still flickers.I called support and they made me download a Drive fitness test that reported an error on disk.Had to take machine to a Service point to have it swapped under warranty .Two moinths later, the new hard disk failed again, and was replaced..now i work with my finger crossed and save every important doc on DVD. Speaking with the people of the Service center , it looks like it is a common problem happening to machines built in 2005..
