    Now that's a quality review. /sarcasm

    Girl was cute though, so I kept watching.

    Wow. They are talking like it's nick junior show or something, and I doubt the people who are entertained by that are going to buy a gaming laptop (or any laptop for that matter).

    It serves as a reminder of how much better the Screen Savers was as a show.

    AOTS isn't really a tech show by default. They're mostly entertainment with a gaming/web/youth slant. I liked the review- it's pretty typical of them, felt it was fairly decent, and they gave it a great score. I wouldn't call it "Nick Jr" or anything (yeah I have kids so I know how bad those stations are).

    I would have liked the review a lot more if Olivia Munn did it :)

    That is for sure. I was actually disappointed it wasn't her.

    LoL at saying the sub is in the back. It's nice to see our beloved G73JH getting some popularity though. However, I can't believe I ever cared to watch that show, sure has gotten much much worse it seems.

    Thanks for the link, OP!

    Not much of a review, but an attempt to advertise. Interesting enough for those of you who care that's Alison Brie from the AMC TV show Mad Men (drama show about a bunch of people in advertisement).

    No its aimed for an audience that isn't particularly techie. Think of the average person that only knows things the Best Buy salesperson tells him such as "Intel = good", "Full HD 1080p" = good, and "Looks like JET PLANE" = good.

    Heh, the salesman that helped me told me that. Said he wanted it just because of that. He was once in the marines or navy though so that might be part of it lol.
