This balance doesn't properly reflect how much I love this laptop. I was startled when the dislikes list was longer than the likes.

Things I like

  • It has been, thus far, very reliable. (*crosses fingers*)
  • Despite having only 2GB of RAM, I've never run out, even when running five or six hungry applications.
  • It's a good size.
  • I love the touchpad and mouse buttons.
  • The keyboard is comfortable for extended use.
  • Plugs and ports are in convenient locations.
  • It's supported every operating system I've tried on it...which is saying a lot.

Things I dislike

  • It has two slots for RAM and the maximum per slot is 1GB. I even checked this on Crucial.
  • Its graphics card doesn't support some visual effects.
  • The screen has keyboard key imprints on it. They look like little teeth marks.
  • The SD card slot doesn't work with some cards.
  • I've had to replace the battery twice.
  • The battery gives me under two hours per charge.
  • Sometimes when I try to boot the laptop, it turns on, turns off, and then turns back on again. If it's not plugged in, it might just turn off and stay off. I don't know how to fix this.
  • It can be heavy to carry around.
