I got this laptop to replace my old desktop PC. For [$] i got a great computer with a core 2 duo processor, and several features that I found were only available in the $650 or over price range. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard is BIG, and difficult for anyone with normal sized hands to type. Also, I was surprised at how heavy it is, and wonder if the given weight includes the weight of the battery. A third issue that if you press the cursor pad with one hand and scroll on the pad with the other the zoom changes. unfortunatley i end up zooming unintentionally if I leave my left hand resting on the keyboard and use my right hand to move the cursor. Kind of frustrating, but i think I can adjust to this.
