pretty amazing notebook!
- Pros: this is my first laptop i have bought and i have to say. i was very impressed out of the box. its screen is great, very fast pc, the 4850 in it too is blazing.
i can max out almost ever one of my games.
- Cons: the cons are...
the keyboard is kinda cramped but not a big deal at all.
and the battery is a 9-cell but...it still only gets 1:30 to 2 hours idle. not a big deal though. mines always plugged in
- Other Thoughts: with that said, the pros are too good to pass up. i'd recommend this to anyone looking for a nice gaming laptop
I named it "Eve"
- Pros: Out of the box it's truely amazing.
3 hours 25 minutes with webcam, bluetooth, and wireless LAN off and specs throttled down using the given software.
The HD 4850 is beautiful. It can be set to perform as a monster running games and with the touch of the Eco button it throttles down to do its job with the least bit of power possible. Perfect both for games and work.
Runs Crysis fluently on highest settings in turbo mode.
Does well with multithreaded apps.
The reviews I see on other sites rate the screen brightness as sub-par. I can't agree with that. Even on turbo-battery mode [lowest brightness] I can easily see everything while sitting in the park.
The sound is amazing.. both the internal speakers and the output jacks. I haven't used the HDMI out for my system yet, i just hooked up 4 separate stereo systems to the side ports. Very customizable through the software.
- Cons: 32-bit. Why? Nobody knows.
Fn and Ctrl keys switched. A bit awkward in games, but you get used to it.
Norton protection software very annoying.
- Other Thoughts: Wireless is very powerful, but draws a lot of power. You can set it to save power in the device settings if you know you'll be near the access point without obstructions.
Upgraded the Harddrive immidiately after copying everything off the original. Theres quite a bit of room in the compartment.. I had no trouble.
Arrived in 3 business days.
A+
- Pros: For the price, this computer is a excellent desktop replacement for gamers on a medium budget. It's been running every thing I throw at it on max settings including Empire Total War with Darthmod (Which is extremely resource taxing). I was a little worried about this purchase at first but if after a day with it, I have completely fell in love with it.
Oh, another thing that makes this computer totally awesome is that it's SILENT, even when running some hardware stressful games.
- Cons: There is a few little annoyances with the placement and size of the keys on the keyboard, but then again I have giant fingers.
Also, It comes installed with Windows Vista 32bit, so it doesn't take full advantage of the 4gigs of ram installed on the computer.
- Other Thoughts: Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase, so far. For any gamer looking for a desktop replacement for home, or going away to college, this is an excellent choice.
The games I have run beautifully with high FPS: Oblivion(With mods), Empire Total War, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2, Call of Duty 4, Counter-Strike Source.
