The good: Plays DVD without booting into OS; remote control; bright display; high-quality speakers.
The bad: Expensive; no Gigabit ethernet; one-year warranty; average performance; no ExpressCard slot; no Bluetooth.
The bottom line: If you want a notebook to replace your television, DVD recorder and play games, this machine will do it all at less than a grand off the price of its better-equipped sibling, the Toshiba G20.
