    ok guys, i just recieved my hgl30 couple days ago. so far so great. Thanks to Donald at powernotebooks, great service, fast responses, would buy from again and recomennd. anyways some pro/cons even though its my first laptop.

    My setup:
    t2500
    as5
    100 gb 5400rpm
    1024 ram (single stick, so i can upgrade in future)
    bluetooth, wireless
    1year accidental warranty


    Pros:
    1) great lcd screen and graphics card, plays lots of games with ease.
    2) The teal lid isnt as bad as i expected it to be, but woulda been better if it was somethin else such as gunmetal.
    3) pretty much everything except for what im about to list in the cons

    Con:
    1) Speakers were disappointing, ive heard better from lower quality notebooks.
    2) the cd/dvd is loud, ticks pretty loud.

    not much, but for the price, i would have to say, you get alot for what you pay for. ive seen many laptops, with mysetup and costing over $2000+ i would definately recomend this notebooks. hope this is some help to future buyers.
