Customer Reviews

quality laptop
won't write all the specs, as it is already written in product description. current;y i am testing its battery life. has been 3 hours since i turned it on, 15% battery life remaining. i've done only web browsing, some downloads, bit bluetooth connection test and all. i guess the battery will last 4 hours with these minimal usage. i wasnt expecting more as it has a powerful processor and 4gb ram.
it is a bit heavy for a 13.3" laptop, however for an entertainment laptop, this shouldnt be an issue.

i also quite like windows 7. i decided to stick with windows laptops as i am not a mac person at all.

overall, i highly recommend this laptop for everyday use.

powerful laptop with touchscreen
Has all the specs a good desk top can have. i absolutly love this laptop,looks great , and with the bonus of touchscreen, also comes with remote control and matching case, played race 07 on high settings with no problems. If you want a good alround laptop you wont go far wrong with this, it is a little heavy but with all the specs and an optical drive its not gonna be light is it. i definatly reccommend this laptop
