Pros:
* The 2GHz Turion 64 x2 TL-60 is made of two processing engines that make the performance twice as faster as other standard 2GHz processors. This processor delivers better multi-tasking performance in thinner and lighter notebook designs, simultaneous 32- and 64-bit performance.
* The 2048 Mb of RAM makes this laptop to be up to date since Windows Vista recommends 1024+ Mb of RAM is needed for a smooth operation. The fact that one can upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM makes this laptop to be unique and ahead of others.
* The 250 GB of hard drive is a lot of space and great for a laptop of this kind.
* A very good and strong wireless card since it supports an ‘N’ signal
* Nice features like a remote control, built in webcam, Media card, and express card readers
Cons:
* The Intel Core 2 Duo process beats AMD Turion 64 x 2 in some programs, mostly games, and you get a battery life out of Intel Core 2 Duo; the difference between two is very small and you probably will never notice. AMD still does a great performance!
* NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M is not a very good graphic card for gaming but the 799 shared graphics makes the graphics card to be a decent laptop graphics
* Does not have a Built in Bluetooth
