I like that it's light, the screen in big and it was all in my budget.

I love the ribbed brown cover, it's almost a copper shade, and the outside dimensions make the whole notebook look very sleek, eventhough it has a large 15.6 screen.

This laptop also plays 1080p like a champ, and can handle other processor-intensive programs with ease, such as video or picture editing.

It's very quiet, stays cool, the screen has good resolution, also has a fast processor and it is easy to use.

The processor clock speed is pretty low, 1.5GHz, and you will never see higher than that.

The new i3 processor is more then up to the task and I'm almost willing to bet it's probably a little bit faster and better processing power as my Core 2 Quad that I have in my desktop machine.

The specs from AMD for the CPU say that it overclocks a single core to 2.4 Ghz on high demand, but I have found that is actually will overclock as many as 2 cores to 2.4 Ghz under heavy loads and then immediately will downclock to 900 Mhz to save battery life and reduce core temperatures.

I bought this computer because it was the lowest costing Intel Core i5 processor I could find.

The specs were there: quad core, decent graphics processor, plenty of hard drive space, ample ram, yet I was still worried that the actual performance would not match the numbers.

The 4gb ram is perfect since for a normal user you dont usually use more than 4gb of ram.
