      Picked this up 2 weeks ago -- this machine has little or no personality, but it is rock-solid. Zippy quad-core, surprisingly decent integrated GPU (yes, it's on the board -- APU -- some owners are incorrectly calling it "discrete"), almost 5 hours battery life. For a standard web/document creation machine, plus a bit of gaming (at low-mid settings) it gets the job done well for under $400. My only two minor cons are (1) wish it had a 1600x900 screen, and (2) the palmrest creaks a bit just right of the touchpad. I've seen complaints about the 5400 RPM HDD, but for the price an SSD upgrade is an easy option. Haven't tried overclocking the AMD A6 CPU yet, but there are dozens of youtube videos for the interested owner.
