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
