This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - i7 Processor is extremely fast - Graphics card is amazing - Cheap for everything you get - Fairly light - Very quiet
The best thing about this notebook is how fast it is. I can be doing photoshop, playing a game, have multiple browser tabs open, downloading/uploading music, and be connected through my work intranet and this thing just smiles and tells ya to keep on coming. The turbo boost is a great feature for maintaining high demand programs such as Photoshop and certain games.
Considering everything you get with this its amazingly cheap. I shopped around and never found anything close to what this has from any other retailer, local or more mainstream.
It's also very quiet, you wont even hear it as it loads up programs or lays idle.
Cons: - Runs a little hot (offset with notebook cooler) - Bloatware (though easily removed) - Typing is a little awkward - Short battery life (if doing complex tasks)
It runs pretty hot if you game on it. I play WoW and MW2 and it runs a little hot. Offset with a notebook cooler and you should be fine. Typing on it also feels a little awkward in comparison to a desktop. Very short battery life if you are using photoshop or other high demand program.
Other Thoughts: Alot of people have talked about the webcam which isnt amazing but unless you use one alot it can get by. The cam is better than most $25 webcams.
As for the fingerprints, it can get a little messy. I'm not sure why people view it as a bad thing though. Do not let things like this deter you from getting the system, it will happen with any notebook you buy.
One other thing of note is the seperate partitions. Whats great about this system is if you have any problems with your C Drive its easy to back it up and store all other programs to D. Some people find it awkward because its backwards from other companies but it makes it much easier to recover your system and protect yourself.
I cannot reccomend a better notebook. I shopped at many more mainstream brands as well as local shops and I never found a better deal than I did at Newegg.

Pros: Extremely fast. TurboBoost is not a gimmick - it dramatically increases the speed of certain programs. This is a great laptop for the price. Plays Modern Warfare 2 flawlessly with Full AA and texture settings on "Extra" on native display and is still more than playable on an HDTV at 1920*1080
Cons: Fingerprints. And the camera is pretty bad.
Other Thoughts: Battery life is about 2.5 hours, 3 when only using it for school work. This is a great computer for a great price.
