The widescreen screen is lovely to work from very clear. I like the fact that it has a built in web cam and mic. Also the built in sd card slot is very handy no messing with digittal camera leads.
-
The one bad point is that it gets very hot but then most laptop/pcs do so it is not a problem.

I'd like an external volume control, as was on my previous Toshiba laptop - its irritating having to adjust the volume on the desktop. Also, even though it has an LED to show whether bluetooth is connected, there doesn't seem to be a bluetooth function on my model.
