Pros: Battery life is 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours depending on how heavy it's used. Dual core processor! 1GB RAM! 120GB HD! the dvd burner also supports dvd-ram, windows vista ready.

Cons: Preloaded software, no backup discs, the memory config really should be a single stick of ram instead of two, i wish there was a physical mute button for the volume. no lightscribe or dvi either.

Overall Review: i loaded windows vista the lowest score was a 3, though it recognized the graphics as 200M. vista has bugs but its not the laptops fault. the laptop is VERY cool running. the power brick gets real warm though so watch that. for the money you cant complain its well worth the money vs performance ratio!
