Rating: - disappointed
very displeased with the product I was under the impression the color of the computer was going to be metallic bronze it was just regular black. The sign said the computer is personel again but i couldn't tell with this buyer. The box came all dented up thank god that the laptop was in good condition. I wouldn't suggest anyone to purchase anything from this person without a actual picture.
Rating: - Great value - awesome for desktop replacement

If you do large spreadsheets, MSProject etc. this is a good choice; however the contrast ratio (black level) for multimedia use is not that good. ... Read More
Rating: - The Laptop That Has It All
The AMD processor is wonderful. Who needs an Intel chip for $100-$200 more? 4 Gigs of RAM, 250 Gig Hard Drive, 17" monitor, and an on board ATI graphics card. It is not a hardcore gaming machine, but this laptop can handle just about anything you can throw at it. This laptop comes equipped a wireless N network card which really does make a huge difference in speed when it comes to the internet. It just takes a few seconds for pages to load and surfing is just about as instantaneous as you can get. It really ... Read More
