Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Heat is an unfortunate side effect of the graphics chip. No 1080p resolution
  • Poor display contrast, black value and viewing angles, Adverse loudspeaker placement, Clattery & spongy keyboard, No ExpressCard, VGA or FireWire, High emission rates under load, Creaking wrist-rest
  • Very pricey. Way too bulky
  • Small touchpad, Overclocking makes fans loud
  • Expensive, big, and heavy
  • Weight and dimensions, Glare type display, Low battery runtime
  • Some gaming performance issues, Keyboard could feel more solid, Vista Home Premium and bloatware on a machine starting at $2,700?
  • Expensive; very heavy; gaming scores fell short of the top
  • Similarly configured laptops are faster on some tests; plastic lid and creaky hinges dont scream (or sound like) luxury; the albatross that is the massive power brick
  • DirectX 10 performance too dependent on driver support, No HDMI port
