Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A great all-around machine at a budget price. Doesn't feel like a budget machine. Pros:
- Plenty fast 2 Ghz core duo, 2 GB RAM
- Intel graphics chipset (GMA 4500) which is 2x the speed of earlier laptop video chips from Intel, DirectX10, 720p native - snappy with Vista Aero
- nice keyboard, good crisp key action, well laid out
- glorious screen, bright (even under battery power) and super crisp
- very useful multimedia controls: stop/start/FF work with Media player & DVDs, front edge volume, headphone & mic ports
- front edge switch for wifi (on/off)
Cons:
- screen resolution tops at 1280x800
- HDD only 160 GB (140 GB usable)
- won't play games well at max res - not a portable gaming computer
- battery life only a couple hours (keeping that screen lit up uses a lot of power)
If you are like me and use an external drive to sync your tunes to a MP3 player, then the HDD should be plenty large. If you demand your tunes with you, it may not be enough. Same if you need hardcore gaming in your laptop.
I fired up Audacity and did some recording, it handled it flawlessly. I'll be doing a lot of recording on this machine. DVDs are smooth, and Vista responds very well on this machine. USed Zune SW to play music & show a slideshow & did some surfing - handled it just fine.
