General Comments

Overall I am happy with this laptop. It looks good, is well built and the screen is stunning. Although hardware on laptops do outdated very quickly. I bought this laptop 11 months ago and it already struggled with the latest games.
You can buy an extra battery or upgrade the battery from a 6 cell to 9 cell which will certainly help the battery life greatly.
This laptop has everything I need on it, including wireless, bluetooth, etc and I haven't had any problems. The only issue I have is it already struggles to play the latest games, but I think this is because the screen resolution is 1920x1200 and the 7900GS graphics card simply cannot cope with games at that resolution.

I would recommend the 9400 to anyone, but I do not recommend buying the larger 17" 1920x1200 screen is you are going to be gaming, or travelling a lot. If you want to do gaming, it's best to buy a desktop PC.
