I decided to go for a full on laptop over a netbook because I wanted the extra performance, and this has certainly got it. Sure it's not top of the range, but then neither is the price. The spec is one of the highest I could find in this price bracket, the Radeon 4200 being the sale clincher. The 4200 is not a massively fast part, but it's far superior to integrated graphics as it has 128MB of its own dedicated memory, I've managed to get GTA: Vice City running well, TrackMania Nations running at mid settings very well and CS:S at mostly high details; the chip certainly allows for some half decent gaming. The keyboard is really quite good and I got used to it very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it are the half height arrow keys, they're quite awkward to use. The touchpad is alright, the buttons are quite loud I've found and the scroll bar on the side of the pad isn't the most responsive. The pad itself works well enough though, with good sensitivity though it does attract fingerprints.

One of the fastest laptops you can get for this sort of price. Comes with little extras not told about ie infra red remote control. Good build quality. Not loaded with too much junk software. I Highly Recommanded.
