Strengths: Its a powerful machine both in build and contents. More than enough for playing games to programming. To top that off screen is a beauty, and business book have a high-chance of having no dead-pixels.

Weaknesses: battery life is about 3.5hours which is just OK(but then the batteries don't lose life that soon. 5 months and i still have about 5% wear). The default settings for the fan are high(though the whole notebook runs cool), which can be easily compensated on installing 'notebook hardware control'. Factory installed RAM is less, so one is better off with manually installing more.

Summary: 1. Magnesium Chassis, 2. Graphics card that can play most games at high settings except those in the last year or so. 3. Bright screen 1600x1050 resolution 4. Supports Linux 5. High tolerance for a rough handling 6. Battery charges Fast and with the Ultra-high capacity battery, you can get about 8+ hours 7. Surprisingly Thin and light, unlike those dell 15" laptops 8. Used Acer Ferrari 4000 before which is also a solid laptop, but then it(Ferrari) also doesn't feel so much sturdy as this one. and more....

Strengths: Nice clear bright display, long battery life, strong graphics accelerator, competitive screen resolutions. Great Warranty. It also has a sleek and lightweight body compared to laptops with similar features.

Weaknesses: Automatic light sensor is not adjustable, this causes the screen to constantly be a little dimmer on the auto setting than I'd like.

Summary: This laptop is a great step up from some of the lower end models. For only a small increase in price, you get big upgrade in component quality.

Strengths: speed and video production capabilities

Weaknesses: small screen in comparison to other laptops of this price range.

Summary: This computer was purchased for use with video presentation software and projectors. The high end Radion video card has not disappointed, and we have been pleased with its smoothness and performance. For us, the laptop was dedicated for these purposes, so we can't comment on its use for other applications, although it seems powerful enough to handle even complex operations with ease.
