    Yep. A very good machine. It had some problems with USB ports not recognizing disks under Vista but after BIOS update seems to be ok. It is very good for games, has a bright screen, silent operation under office load, and not loud in games under full load! Power drain varies between 14-30W (idle/load) but comes with 4400mAh battery that will last for 1,5 - 3 h only. For me is perfect as a desktop replacement, though it is light enough to carry.
