    Wanted to at least start a review/discussion of the K70IC-A1 notebook. I bought this unit 2 weeks ago to use for internet, business aps and entertainment (oter than games). So far it has been a great system. Fast, easy to use and des everything I have tried. If you are looking for a 17" home/schoole system for under $800, I would recommend. Below are specs for the system that I copied from the Ebay seller I bought it from.
