Pros: Very good software pre-installed, SD card slot, runs very smoothly

Cons: only 60gb hard drive
Summary: I've had this laptop for over 2 years, and it still works fine... I only paid $600. Turned out to be one of my best investments.

I haven't done any reviews before so this may sound amature but I thought this laptop has too few reviews and it is more deserving to have them. I've had the laptop for a day and have enjoyed all that it is capable of, games like LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth II, smooth playing DVD's in windows or without booting windows. The sound is great not tinny like a lot of other laptops. The cooling fan comes on fairly often even during minimal use but it's quiet and keeps the laptop cool which is one of the most important features I was looking for. Also CAD programs run really well on it however I would suggest another stick of ram for better performance. All in all it's a great machine and i'd reccomend it to anyone. Also, most stores sell this laptop for around $900-$1000 but if you check e-bay I got it for $650. Great Buy!
