+ Excelent wide & clear screen, has all fuction keys of a large pc keyboard, built in wireless works well. Fast processing speed with spreadsheets ect. Very pleased with it.

- Battery only seems to last approx 1.5 hours but that is probably due to the larger screen. Feels quite heavy but again that is probably due to the 17" size.

+ Quick, efficient, looks good. No problems so far and have had it for around 5 weeks (02/11/2009)

- Only two usb slots (but I use a hub anyway so not really affected), poor battery life only about an hour if you want to listen to music or watch a video.
