    all these reviews make me sad that I didn't wait a few more months for the 7811 :eek:

    I would agree with most of what they're saying for the cons. This color scheme is pretty cheesy, and i have found myself hitting the eject button on the drive a few times trying to move the notebook forward or backward on the desk.

    I think they are just minor annoyances, with the performance and price you simply can't beat it.

    I agree with you as well. It's a great laptop all things considered.

    I don't feel the same way. Same laptop as you and I'm quite pleased with it. Not sure if I would have liked the 7811 any better, but I would definitely have paid more... :p
