Review:

I will give my review for each and every component

Build - Good. The Microsatin finish does not attract fingerprint, however the black color is matt finished and therefore is a magnet for fingerprints. Red,Midnight Blue and Espresso Brown are cool colors

Keypad - Very comfortably placed and no noise while typing
Touchpad - Good but at times the scroll feature might be effective

Screen - Pretty good. I did not find any grainy screen however I can find some light leakage when I watch movies or in completely dark environment. However I dont think its a major concern

Webcam - Excellent. The 2MP camera is neat for video conferencing is clear(also depends on your net connection)

MediaDirect - Good but have not tried a lot

DVDROM, at times produces a huge noise while reading

Media card reader - Not good at all. I found it really impossible to get my SD card back.

Speakers - Good, the sound is too good to watch a movie and listen to music however it does not play high bass sounds

Overall, its a good package with a decent price.
