affordable price

LED backlit display

capable of displaying high definition 720p media

good value - good manufacturer and decent specs for the price
+5agreedisagree

decent 5-hour battery life
+2agreedisagree

Audio gets a bad rap, but it's because people don't understand that they have to turn on the SRS Premium Sound program (comes installed) to get better sound. For a laptop, sound is excellent through that program.
+1agreedisagree

Cons:
Do you agree?
heavy and large size - poor for use on the go
+3agreedisagree

Intel GMA graphics is no good for anything but standard media, desktop applications
+2agreedisagree

Battery life is ridiculously short no matter which setting you use. Sound does not go loud enough.
+1agreedisagree

Many people have problems with the Sound cards. My sister just got a brand new one and the sound has only worked once.
