Thanks

Pros:
Lightweight
two batteries
has fireware port, and three usb ports (most in this class have 1 or 2)
Excellent wifi capabilities, it's able to pick up the fantest networks.
Lot's if features including bluetooth, IR, and vga out, mmc/sd/memory stick support
Uses the latest chipset with the intel 900 for gaming, ddr2 for better performance and less power requirements than ddr1, intel pentium 740, which I personally think has the best power to performance ratio of any chip.
Includes a pcmcia slot
It has a good feeling keyboard with little flex.
Easy to use lid, no button to push to open laptop.
Easy to turn on/off wireless/bluetooth
Uses a standard 2.5 hard drive (makes it easier to upgrade).
Cons:
Average build quality (the build is nice but doesn't use anything fancey like ligthweight metals.
Average screen quality. It's and little washed out (barely) but it's not bad.
Comes with a recovery cd instead of a full OS cd.
Typical laptop speakers that aren't very loud.
Slow 4200 hard drive included
Finish is easy to scratch.
Overall with this laptop I have been very happy with it. I love that I can turn off the back light when I need to leave something running but don't need to see the screen. Hibernation works great and unhibernates quickly. I also like that the touch pad has the ability to scroll up/down/left/right.
For me having an external cd/dvd drive is a plus but some may prefer an internal one.
Also the other thing I like about this laptop is that it's the least expensive when you consider weight and features. -
