Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this laptop for almost three years, every day, for on average 6+ hours a day.. It's had it's bumps in the road but for a heavy user such as myself to have a laptop last this long is downright impressive.
It shipped with Windows Vista, which at the time was crap, so of course I downgraded to XP right away. It ran wonderfully, and eventually I dual-booted to Win7, to which I found ran much faster. It also came with just 2GB of ram, which got upgraded to 4GB.
To give you an idea about my usage; I'm a graphic design hobbyist. I usually have Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox open alongside Photoshop CS4 AND Paint tool SAI, while running Windows Live! and Trillian in the background with no problems. I've had it permanently connected to a Wacom Tablet for most of it's life and never once had an issue with that. It even runs some 3D graphics programs at good speeds.
For gaming, the hardware isn't the best, which knocks off one star. It can however run most MMO's on medium settings (FlyFF, Aika, Aion, etc) and WoW on high, so kudos to this little guy. Bigger, more demanding games have no hope, namely AMNESIA and The Last Remnant did not want to run on my system due to graphics card requirements.
Like mentioned above, the hardware isn't all that great. It totes a 1.44ghz processor, which isn't ideal for a gamer, and the integrated graphics card can be limiting at times. But for the price I paid for it, and the amount of time I've used it on a daily basis, the fact that it runs beautifully still makes it a great product.
