Pros:
* This Intel processor gives you a better battery life comparing with equivalent AMD processors.
* The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is a decent graphics card, it’s good to watch movies and a lot of games, but some games like half life 2, Halo 2, or CS might have problems with it.
* The 160 GB of hard drive is enough space for a basic use and great for a laptop of this kind; if 160 is not enough there is always the option of adding an external hard drive.
* The lightscribe feature is pretty neat and since you can write Double layer DVDs it makes the DVD/CD drive to be pretty good
* Nice features like a remote control, built in webcam, Media card, and express card readers
Cons:
* The speed of processor (1.5GHz) is a little bit low but again you have a Core 2 Duo processor so the difference won’t be noticeable;
* The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is a decent graphics card and some games wont be played on it. cards such as GeForce Go 8400M are a lot more powerful than X3100 and have better performance.
*The amount of memory (1024 MB) is not recommended for the windows vista and definitely needs to be upgraded to 2+ gb
* Does not have a Built in Bluetooth
