    I am also looking at this unit -- sale price in effect until Thursday (Aug 23).

    However, I am unable to find any reviews on it. Anybody know of any?

    As stated above, it's a rather thick unit -- and weighs approximately 5 pounds if I recall correctly. Heavier than I'd prefer, but it meets my primary criteria of having a matte screen and appears to offer good value.

    Any thoughts on any other pros / cons of this laptop?

    Thanks,

    Charles
