Fantastic Laptop

Pros: Amazing laptop. Screen is crystal clear and very bright. The top cover and spots where your wrist sit have a nice texture to them making fingerprints and smudges hard to see. The p6100 is a great budget processor. This beats down the similar price athlon II mobile processors and seems to be ahead of the old core 2's in benchmarks. The Battery life seems to be about 3.2hours while browsing the net and working with outlook and word. Keys have a great feel and the way it is designed, you really cant get food or other small objects caught under them(staples are always a problem for me). This laptop does have 3 usb, 1 on the left and 2 on the right.
Cons: Would be nice to have an option for a 9cell upgrade but for 399 the 6cell is perfect.
Overall Review: Price and performace this laptop seems to be a win win.
Very flimsy

Pros: Very cheap and it came with a powersupply
Cons: Case materials are very very cheap. The case will bend if you pick it up without the side panel on. With the side panel on and tightened there was still a gap at the front of the case where the side panel meets the front of the comptuer. The powersupply only puts out 8amps on the 12v rail...very weak. Emits a high pitch whistle while running. Could be because it is to weak for the Phenom ii X4 840..i dunno
Overall Review: used this for a client build....i would have returned the case if it was for myself.
Cheap office CPU

Pros: Exceeded by expectations for an office computer. For a cheap CPU this machine runs everything perfectly.
Cons: None.
Worked perfect

Pros: Board worked perfect with an e6550 and 4 gigs of kingston ram.
Cons: None. Everything works perfect.
Good for the price after rebate

Pros: Quick post. Simple bios. Works right out of the box with an i3 2120.
Cons: NO GIGABIT NIC!! gah! What board doesnt have gigabit nic now?! My fault for not reading more but its not worth returning it for this, however It is very much worth deducting a star. Also...if you use a BIG dual slot VGA card, you lose 2 sata ports due to the placement.
Overall Review: Over all for 29.99.......the cons are not enough to justify spending 40 bucks more on a better layout/board. Great board for this price
Great looking ram

Pros: Great looks, good speeds and worked perfect right out of the package
Cons: None
