Reviews By User

Strengths:

Super Fast with Vista Ultimate.

Lightweight, aesthetically beautiful, and all necessary features for complete mobility.

Very light and pretty. 2Gram and big hard disk. Wireless, bluttooth, web cam, a lot of functions!

Size, portability, LED Display, separate graphics cards, hybrid hard drive.

Amazing back-lit X-Brite LCD screen, portable size and weight at only 3.9 pounds, very fast (once formatted with clean install of Vista Ultimate), Web-Cam, looks sharp!


Weaknesses:

Almost all the drivers from original Version installed (Vista Business) are not compatible with Ultimate version.

Too much preloaded software especially from AOL.

Lots of bloatware (too much stuff pre-installed which is not necessary), has crashed very frequently in the past month (3rd month using it), keyboard is shoddy.

Too much useless software and vista is very hard to compatable with a lot of software, and have to buy backup software with addition money, short battery life

Install too much trial software that make slow when starting

Keyboard is "different" and takes getting used too. A little clicky, but the keys are big which is nice. Wish there were more exterior buttons to control volume. Dock station needs power button
