Summary: Good Desktop-replacement Notebook
Review: This laptop is fairly reliable and performs well - good graphics, great sound, pretty tough. There are a few minor glitches that have been there from day 1 - in particular there is a problem with the Mobility Raedon driver that no one can fix. But all the problems are mere inconveniences, nothing that will stop you from doing what you need to do.
