This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. It's nice, but..
I agonized for weeks before finally purchasing this laptop. In the end I decided what I really needed was a desktop replacement. A powerful, capable machine that could replace my aging tower and still be a laptop. In that I was not disappointed.

The good

This machine is quick! Video plays flawlessly, I am able to convert movies from one format to another averaging 10 minutes per 1.5 hour movie. My old tower would take 2 hours.

The screen is bright and clear. The keyboard lights up nicely and the sound is pretty darned good. Build quality is good, no flex to it even if you're Mr. Universe and manage to heft it by a single corner.

I like the fast wireless built in to the laptop and its easy to switch between wireless connections.

The so so

This notebook does heat up and grows uncomfortably warm on the legs if you are lounging around with it. The fan is on most of the time and you can hear it humming away although...

2. Great Machine
I consider this is a nice buy. It has all you want from a high performance laptop for a reasonable price compared for a Macbook Pro or something else.

At the first time i was wondering if this machine has softbuttons to have quick access to volume, wifi, bluetooth and others, I searched over the internet with no luck. So I had to wait to receive the laptop and finding this out by myself. For my surprise I found the F keys has this option as primary option and if you want to use the keys as F's you have to press Alt+F* as a very nice found.

The laptop is very quiet, materials are good considering I hate black laptops with easy finger printing. For 16mb you have to challenge yourself and the computer to use that much of memory. I bought this one to edit photos in Lightroom and Photoshop, while I listen music and stream movies. I can consider I have all these services run with no issues. So happy for that.

Windows 8? no issues found at this moment.

A MUST READ - Detailed Review of this Laptop!
When I was about to purchase this Laptop, I did what everybody does, and read reviews like crazy. I was very impressed with the specs but other customer reviews had me in doubt.

I decided to go with my knowledge of the specs and purchase the laptop regardless of issues stated by others.

Firstly I just want to touch on some of the issues that other 'reviewers' posted along with their lower star rating... These claims made by others created hesitations in my mind but was never experienced after my purchase.

(1) Fan Noise:

The fan comes on pushing the slightly warm air out of the left side vents of the laptop.

The noise that someone mentioned simply cannot be heard. Rather a very light, gentle humming.

Feeling the light movement of air from these vents is comforting to me, know that heat is escaping.

In some other laptops, you can't feel air movement anywhere around the pc making you wonder about the internal...
