Pros: ***1. Cheap compared to the competition ***2. Decent audio with not a lot of interference. ***3. It is s a notebook *and* can play desktop games. 4. Keystroke feels and sounds good.

Cons: ***1. Screen is good, not great. Nice clarity, but it gets washed out looking from off-angles. ***2. ExpressCard only and no PCMCIA. Can't use existing PCMCIA cards. I use wireless data from Cingular ***3. CTRL & Fn button awkwardly switched

Overall Review: I was looking for the cheapest notebook that can play World of Warcraft decently, and this fit the bill perfectly. I'm averaging 30fps with everything maxed out. The big bummer is the lack of a PCMCIA slot which means for me, I couldn't use my existing wireless card and had to special order an unlocked ExpressCard card since Cingular doesn't carry one. The fan is always on, but it's barely noticable. The included bag isn't as junky as I thought it would be, and I'm not planning on getting a different bag for it, although I would have preferred it to be a little firmer (it's kinda soft).

Pros: Fit/Finish, Style, Sound Dampening.

Cons: Mobo panel not removable, Mobo mounted upside down, wheels only roll forward and backward, cabling can get tight.

Overall Review: I have 12 hard drives in them of varying sizes, all PATA drives. Cabling becomes a nightmare with so many drives in close proximity. Also, I noticed with that many drives together, heat can become an issue. I'm the only one on the box and I typically use one drive at a time, so I have it setup to spin drives down after 5 min. After that, no heat issues. All in all, it's a good case and worth every penny.
