    All I can say is WOW!!! This is my first laptop and was somewhat skeptical about road warrior rigs. NEVER again, this thing has 1 gig DDR, 100 gig HDD, Dual Layer DVD/CDRW Burner, ATI 9700 vidcard and the ONLY bad thing is the fact that it comes with 6 blank cd's for you to make your own restore discs. Was easy to do, simple and well thought out demo guides you right through the process. I highly recommend it. Being that this is my first laptop, the keys are odd (though very nice and have good tactile feel) as I am used to noisy keyboards.

    The Display is great and the brightness adjustable, the DVD plays without a hitch too :)

    I read Siphon's review on it and decided what the heck i'll try it. Besides the super quiet keys wont keep my wife up at night (though the incredibe display night lol)

    I highly recommend it!
