Summary: Very Good
Review: This is a very good notebook. With most purchases like this, it depends on what you want.

For example, I wanted a larger keyboard, full-size if possible. This one fit the bill. So, it is not going to fit in an 8.5x11 package.

I also wanted it to be a desktop replacement so that I could do my software development on the road. That being the case, it is hard on the batteries, so don't expect them to last a long time on a charge.

Good sound was a nice bonus and one that I kept an eye on. The speakers are decent. The headphone output isn't as clean as I had hoped, but it won't both most people like it does us audiophiles.

So far, it seems durable. Only time will tell. Although I wish I had gotten DVD-R (it only has DVD+R like most of its competitiont), this was a good purchase and gets used regularly.
