    Do you mean powered when the laptop is on (yes all four are) or powered when it's turned off (no, it does not)

    I recommended it to a friend and he has loved it. The only weakness for him is the keyboard is not the best.

    I love my machine. Keyboard is my only complaint as well, and it's not a terrible keyboard, just not great. So far it's looking like a lifespan of 4 to 6 months will be typical for me, which translates to 2 to 4 years for normal people. I'm very hard on keyboards as I type a LOT.

    Thank you guys ! I've actually noticed the weird feel keyboard, but was not so sure.. So it definitely seems like a very good choice for the average user. Thanks again..
