Customer Reviews
great laptop, November 29, 2009
By Travis Laborde "travislaborde" (Mickleton, NJ United States)
I'm thrilled with my new laptop. It boots from the SSD and so has amazing speed, has an extra drive for storage, a great screen, a nice keyboard, and a great look. It supports "hardware virtualization" which means if you use VMWare Workstation or such, it can take advantage of the enhancements which make your VMs much faster than "normal."
I can think of only three annoyances with this laptop:
1) They keyboard has backlighting, which turns off after a (slightly configurable) time. I'd like to be able to set it to "stay on until I manually turn it off." You have to hit a key to get them to light up again, but by then you've hit the wrong key - annoying.
2) The power supply connects via one of the older standard type plugs, meaning without the "swivel" that some newer laptops are coming with. It just means that it will get "worn" and "bent out of shape" faster than you'd like.
3) The "finish" is just too glossy. Like an iPod - it's beautiful until you touch it. You'll have fingerprints all over it, which is decidedly not beautiful anymore. I find myself wanting to "wash and wax" my laptop like I did my car when I was a teenager :)
