Released June, 2010
The Pros:HD movies on Blu-ray display seamlessly. Keyboard is sturdy, has a solid feel as you type. Fingerprint reader is convenient to use while surfing for creating quick secure passwords.
The Cons:Weighs more than most laptops, feels a bit heavy carrying it around. Hard drive access speeds create slight bottlenecking for gaming. Though there's a sticker on the notebook that states it's WiDi ready, it's not WiDi compatible.
