    I have it since 20/7/2011.
    Never crashed or anything , i7 coupled with GT 525M will give you the best experience.

    It's a nice little notebook that packs enough power for these days.
    I recommend it.

    Good luck :)

    Do not buy one, laptop must be totally disassembled including removal of motherboard to replace the hard drive!

    I wouldn't be so cavalier about it.

    As a repair technician, I routinely remove hard disks to clean off stubborn viruses by slaving them to another machine. It's a very effective way of making sure the disks are really clean. If you do a virus scan while booted from the laptop, you can never be confident you get it all. That's not so easy to do anymore.

    I've had to virus clean several 15R's, and this design makes things much more time consuming and ultimately more expensive to the customer. It's simply poor design to make it more difficult than necessary to change a part like this, especially a part that you know customers often upgrade.

    Actually , I took the laptop apart about 3 times to repaste. Few scratches but nothing massive. Now it's quite easy and I can do it in about 10 minutes. Of course it's not the best design but not the worst though.

    It is a completely unnecessary design, if this was designed in China I think an execution is called for.
