Score 8.0/10

Good points:: The screen is very good both size (it's wide) and appearance. The speed and capacity seem good and I like the 'Cool Comfort'. The overall appearance is good.
Bad points:: The key board is a bit spongy / bouncy and the small keys at the top a bit fiddly

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: The performance of this laptop is even better than I expected! The grahics in particular are stunning. The trackpad, although a little tricky to master, is very good with the new scrolling and right-click features.
Bad points:: The battery life is quite poor by today's standards, but you're not buying a 17" laptop if you want something mobile, are you.
