    My niece bought this model about one month ago. This notebook looks cheap. The latch slides to open the LCD was broken after several tries. The AC ADAPTER is as big & heavy as a brick (looks ugly too). LCD screen is a little bright, needs to adjust to lower glare every time the computer turned on. She returned the laptop 3 days later.

    Performance wise, it's pretty decent. Then again, theres only so much playing around you can do in a Circuit City. I have a 2.4ghz machine so I imagine performance on applications like Office or Photoshop would only be that much better.

    Style wise...the thing is ugly. Everytime I see a picture of it, I have visions of Martha Stewart writing a book called "The Joys of Mobile Computing: Housewife Edition". There's just something about it...
