    want to hear from the owners. i know people only post here when they encounter problems, i want to know how many of 15z owners are happy with their decision.

    It all depends on your perception of quality. If you like screens that are interlaced with vertical lines, glue that crumbles and plastic that peels, then its great. Otherwise its pretty bad. Normally I would try to physically inspect a notebook first, but nobody had the 15z on display. I think if you are considering getting one, try to find someone who has is and take a look first

    Personally i'm not happy at all.
