Screen reflections can be a problem - a non-reflective screen finish (dearer, I know) would be a big plus.

Beeeest value for money in the UK at time I bought it for a 17" notebook. Silent operation.
At first I was sceptical about the refecting TFT bright screen but this is fine generally and even halfway tolerable (though light reflexion is still far worth than with the standard non bright TFT monitor skin...) with refelxion of day light on the monitor surface.
Overall I am very satisfied and can highly recoomend this product.

This is the first laptop that I have owned so it is difficult to compare. It's good to keep an eye on the kids while on the computer as they can use it in the living room while we are all together rather than in the dinning room where the desk top is sited.

I'm fed up with Microsoft changing their operating systems all the time, you just get comfortable with their products then they go and change them, but they don't use standard formats. If I were to use the analogy of a car, I would always expect to find the steering wheel in front of me when I sit in the driving seat!
