    That's a link to the wrong thing. I'm sure they're knocking the video card, which is the biggest problem that I see.

    I think they just misinterpeted in a way. I guess they were trying to say the machine overall is great, but the graphics card could have been improved. But who knows, its just their opinion.

    Actually, they were right. Their test unit had a 4200 RPM HDD. That completely hamstrung the poor N5010. They were comparing it to other machines with 1 GB RAM and/or 7200RPM HDD. No wonder it looked pathetic. I upgraded to 7200 RPM HDD and have no complaints, even with "only" 512 MB RAM. I should do some benchmarks to compare, but I have never been into that.
