Awesome laptop

I bought this machine after doing a lot of research. In my opinion it is exactly what it is suppose to be. I love the media center. I love the dvd burner I am looking to upgrade the memory. I have some digital media so the slots are good for me. I love this machine.

I agree with the good and the bad reviews

The good:

Excellent screen, Media Center features, good performance, excellent selection of ports and storage devices.

The bad:

This thing is HOT and HEAVY. Forget about using it on your lap. Prolonged use on a desktop is best done with a keyboard plugged in -- the palm rest actually gets far too hot to type comfortably.

The absolutely terrible:

The battery life was minimal when the machine was new. I never got more than 30 minutes of careful use with minimal drive access. After about a year, it is nonexistent. I cannot even unplug to move from one desk to another without powering down. This is coupled with a power "brick" that truly deserves the slang name -- it is actually heavier than most real bricks. The cord started pulling from the brick after about a year and will have to be replaced, and the unusual connector on the computer side means that no third-party adapter will fit.
