Pros: beefy hardware, plenty of ram, 64 bit. sleek styling, super brightscreen (put my desktop monitor to shame, on highest brightness its like looking at sun). plenty of harddrive space. windows 7 is amazing. nothing it can't run. streaming with HDMI to big screen TV works like a champ. battery life is amazing, like from the 24th cent.

Cons: lack of an optical drive isn't really a con, given the nature of netbooks/high portability computers. *i find i dn't really use the optical drive in my desktop all that much* most programs and files can be put on externals. speakers are good quality but max volume is a bit low, need to use headphones. the only thing is little guy is missing is a video card.

Overall Review: this is a homerun for me. it does exactly what i want it to do, and that is rock 24/7/365!

Pros: great screen, 17in is great size and the images on screen can be seen from pretty much any angle. I like the speakers, and good for gaming

Cons: battery is less than 2 hours, but I don't use it long without a charger anyway. some may complain of heat, but the vent is on the back side, so that's not so bad

Pros: the capacity is nice to have. its 30 gigs when formatted for NTFS on windows xp. it helps me keep and carry important tech tools. it seems to download at a pretty fast rate seeing as large amounts of data it holds. very convenient

Cons: it seems to write at a fairly slow speed compared to read speed.

Overall Review: i pulled the trigger on this purchase a little too soon. don't get me wrong, i would buy one again, but at a lower price or higher capacity. but when all is said and done, you can never really have enough working thumb drives. i hope you found this informative
