I have had no issues with this laptop as of yet - having had it for coming up to three weeks. I have no qualms with the resolution, sound etc. which have been mentioned on other reviews (some on other websites). If this is a laptop you don't plan on having generally hooked up to A/C power you may be in a little trouble though - as I've noticed that the battery seems to drain quite quickly - although I do use it pretty heavily. No worries about the sound, perfectly high quality - and I listen to music and game A LOT. Took me about 15/20 minutes to set it up. The product arrived in just six days - packaged securely. I also have no issues with the keyboard, but this may just be because I do a lot of typing, it took me a couple of hours to get used to but that's all. It runs perfectly - quickly and quietly and with more than enough areas to connect up your webcams, mice, phones etc... although I don't have many new games as of yet (waiting for my next payslip!) I have found it has run games up to 2010 with perfect smoothness on high/ultra settings. Don't let the fact that the screen is glossy deter you either - I was slightly put off at first, but it looks basically like a non-glossy unless it's off! And I'm sat right next to a window as I type this. It's the most I've ever spent on anything so far - and I don't regret it slightly, I'm normally really fussy - and I haven't got a single issue with this product.
Can I just invalidate the person who says that it doesn't have a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce 540m graphics card? Because mine certainly has one, I have uploaded photos as proof. Can I also say that the pattern which you can see on the back in those pictures isn't half as obvious as it is in the pictures!
Edit: [17/05/12] Just to let you all know that it's perfectly fine for playing games, I have recently bought Napoleon Total War, Age of Empires III and Dead Space 2 for it, all of which run on high/ultra settings at a minimum of 30FPS. However, with Total War - )which is admittedly fairly well known for being intense graphics/processor-wise) it tends to get quite hot on the left hand side. So I'd be fairly cautious when playing it for long durations of time on intense games such as Total War. Other than that, no problems so far!

This is a replacement laptop, not for gaming but for photography.
I wanted something that was going to be able to run Lightroom and Photoshop and hopefully not stutter on large imports as much as the one I currently has does.
For this reason, the USB3.0 inputs appealed alongside the spec of processor, dual hard drive bays and memory in particular.
I have been investigating the same spec laptops from other manufacturers and they are mostly considerably more expensive, and now I've had mine a few days I think I can see why.
The case is quite plastic; it's sturdy but not metal, such as my HP Elitebook for work. That said, I'm surprised how relatively light it feels for a 17" laptop. It's not an Ultrabook, but it doesn't feel too cumbersome to carry.
The SD card slot feels very flimsy. I'll be purchasing the Lexar UDMA CF/SD reader shortly; I don't think I'd want to be putting SD cards in and out of the laptop too often.
The blu-ray tray also feels quite flimsy; I think that will need handling with care.
Those things aside, I am still very pleased. I needed an almost desktop like replacement, that won't travel too often, so hopefully the quality of plastics shouldn't get too tested. The spec gives me scope to upgrade later on, in particular the dual hard drive bays mean I can drop in a SSD into one, and eventually upgrade the slightly sluggish 5400rpm 1TB drive supplied.
The keyboard feels responsive, the screen is rich & vibrant, although the glossy finish could annoy you in rooms with a lot of lighting behind you. Again, I'd tried it out in a store and it's acceptable for me, bearing in mind it's plugged in to a monitor most of the time.
In short, a very well spec'd laptop but if you're looking for something that'll get chucked in a bag a lot, I'd look elsewhere. If it's a desktop replacement that won't travel too often, I think this is perfect.

The laptop arrived next day well packed and everything as it should be. Within about 20 minutes i had the machine out of the box and powered up.
Immediately I was impressed by the fantastic clear screen and the flashing speed of the power up.
A few simple setup questions and off i went 1 hour later I had all the office software and anti virus software loaded and licenced. I did decide to split the hard drive as the reccommend into two and managed to create my first backup of the new system. All this was simple and the setup software was very clear.
Have been using the PC now for a while and love the quick power up and the faultless power down on lid close (something my previous sony always failed on after a few days) This one now reminds me to do a full power down after a week or so and has been a joy to use.
I would recommend this PC to any heay user its surprisingly light and looks the part when I am at clients worksites and it seems to have a battery that lasts a couple of hours and with a kingston air power box can be used and charged using the power sockets on the plane (again my sony had both battery and power problems)
