Good Points

The black & striking blue with silver gadgets on sides is very nice.
Very sleek, thin and easy to carry.


Bad Points

Can heat up within minutes and switches off with no warnings.
The wireless device is very difficult to identify whether is present from outside without checking the system inside out.

A whole procedure how to switch the wireless on, gives you headaches. Would've been easier to have a on/off button with an identifying blue light, like the rest of laptops.

It takes hours to charge, seconds to discharge and If you are working on the laptop while it is charging - it runs on battery. Bizzare! All owners I know have same problems.


General Comments

I was given this laptop by my boss to work from home. Still cannot add it to my Wireless Home Network (2 laptops & a PC!). Definitely not a business machine!

The heating up problem has been partially resolved as I bought a cheap laptop fan from eBay!

It might've been OK in 2003, but it is definitely a NO-NO for 2008.
