Good Points

I bought this laptop from a friend who needed cash badly. I have to say that I was very impressed with it. Very fast in my opinion. It is lightweight as well. I took it with me on my first deployment overseas and it did just fine, even with all the sandstorms. It survived. That was almost four years ago and only recently did it start acting up.


Bad Points

The battery life is abysmal. I too heard a high pitched squeal coming from the fan. The screen also loses it's back light sometimes. That is an easy fix though, move the screen to a different position and it goes back to normal. The only problem that I cannot live with is that the DC jack is loose. It then overheated the power cord and now that doesn't work. I still want to keep it so if anyone knows a place where I can get a new cable I would appreciate it.

All in all I really enjoy this computer and would recommend it to anyone. Do not leave it plugged in if you are not using it though. It tends to get hot.
