Good Points
Fast, sleek, good seign, solid, quiet,- particularly fast with the
2.5GHz , 6MB cache processor. Good built-in audio, good screen. Nice keyboard and full keypad.
Bad Points
Ricoh Firewire chip has driver/hadrware problems.
Connections badly arranged. No decent high quality sound connectors.
General Comments
Its a very good Destop replacement. Best to get 4GB memory, 2x 200GB 7200rpm harddisks, 2.5 or higher processor with 6MB cache, fastest graphic card, Tv card, bluetooth/with mouse. Target price (June 2008) £685 inc vat and delivery. This gives a PCMark rating of 780. (processor above had best PC Mark beating the rating of 2.6 Ghz version). At this price it was a great bargain.
