My brother and I recently both bought this laptop and so far it has been good. Windows Vista Premium is a nice touch but I don't think the laptop reaches the requirements to run it good enough, I may downgrade to XP just for the better performance. Otherwise, the graphics have been much better than expected, and the laptop has a nice slick screen and display. One small thing is that it does get REALLY hot, I usually keep a towel or something on my lap when I use it at home, otherwise it's good to go! (This could be because of all the games that are being run on it non stop ! :P)
