Gamer and Student review... [Posted on 2007-04-11]
Based on my experience with it, let me address some issues I've read in various online reviews:
-Every system has a long bootup time the FIRST time you start it. After your initial couple of days, Vista loads up quicker.
-I play a variety of games on this, from Sims 2 to World of Warcraft. The 1gb of ram is fine for these. I can even alt-tab between playing a game and writing a paper without lag if I want.
-The system is speedy, and the wifi card can pick up even really weak signals (like some of the ones on my campus) with no problems.
-The speakers aren't worth listening to music on, but a pair of headphones should solve that problem for you.
-I would recommend getting a Spire PacificBreeze cooling fan for this. I got the one with two fans that sits right under the back of the computer, and I can use it for very extended periods of time without overheating.
So, I can play games, video and photo edit, and use this for school and entertainment purposes and I love it. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the speakers.

Best Bang for Your Buck [Posted on 2007-05-09]
There's no better laptop out there for the price i paid. The laptop looks nice, and does not feel cheap. The specs are all decent, although you might want to look into getting another 1GB of ram because Vista is such a resource hog.
PROS:
1. Quick play buttons are nice and convenient at the top of the laptop, and they are illuminated as well.
2. The fan in the laptop is not noisy, and runs quiet. I used to have a dell, and it sounded like it was going to blast off into space all the time.
3. The laptop does not get too hot.
4. The media center works well with the included remote control that slides into the express slot.
5. The high gloss finish looks sharp. The laptop is light and slim for a 14.1 inch widescreen laptop. The screen is glossy and clean as well.
CONS:
1. Battery life is not great. It lasts about 2 hours. I read that Vista eats up power, so it may not be the laptops fault however.
2. The keyboard is a little cramped. For example the shift key on the right side is half the size as the one on the left. The delete key is smaller than the tip of your finger.
3. The keyboard is also of the material that gets "shiny" after some use. The keys are black, and they are not like the Apple Macbook Pros where they will always look the same after some time.
4. Beware that some of these models made a "whiny" noise. Faint, high pitched "computer" noises. Not hard drive or fan noise either. Almost unnoticeable, unless you're in a quiet room. Google it and you can find out more about it.
Overall, the cons are minor and are outweighed by the pros. This laptop is perfect for student or business use for the daily user. Not recommended for people looking to use graphic intensive programs. I carry my laptop everyday, and the size/weight is perfect. A 15.4 incher was big to carry everyday, and to clunk down at starbucks as i did work. This really is the best deal for the price. Its hard find a good looking laptop that has dual core processor, 120 GB hard drive, 1GB ram at the right size and price for under $800. The only reason why i gave it 4 stars is because of the mediocre battery life and the minor keyboard issue. Otherwise, great laptop overall.
If it wasen't for the warenty [Posted on 2007-11-26]
I have had this notebook for about 3 months, and the Hard drive faild on me 3 times! I re installed windows vista 3 times and the problem kept happening. The notebook is nice if it worked. I would rate this a 1 start but the warenty on this product is great. great customer service! i think the problem is the vista and not the notebook. another thing is that the notebook gets fairly hot, even on a flat hard wood or glass table. I would def. buy an HP over a Vaio.
