Mostly a good laptop [Posted on 2008-08-13]
I have had this laptop for a few months now. It is very pretty right out of the box, but the glossy finish on EVERYTHING - including the keyboard is a problem. The keys are slick and every fingerprint shows on the laptop case and keyboard and there is a lot of glare on the screen because it is shiny. Also, it does not shut down properly at times and will not wake up from sleep mode sometimes. At those times I have to disconnect the power and remove the battery for a few seconds before it will act right again. Then I am good for a couple of weeks before it happens again. If you put any pressure on the bottom of the laptop under the DVD drive while it is working it makes alarming noises, like you are pinching the spinning disc. Other than that, it seems fine and it's small size and light weight are big plusses.
