Jun 3, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Excellent Graphics. High end feature packed.
Cons: Lack of adequate heat dissipation. Heavy,
Opinion:
Amazing performer for its price. Definitely one to rival the top line of laptops from other brands.
One major(and rather disappointing) problem is it heats up mighty fast. Tho it can play top of the line graphic intensive games with no problems, its lack of an effective cooling system limits playing time greatly. Be prepared to invest in some quality external cooling mechanism.

The touch-sensitive buttons might get activated when you just brush your hands over them, but it isn't really a problem since you can adjust their sensitivity. The touchpad buttons are just too hard and loud. It gives the impression of them being really cheap parts.

Be prepared to spend a little extra cash on a cooling ... Read more
