plus and minus

Review:

When it's working it's a dream. The problem with this laptop (besides the exorbitant price) is that it will break on you.
Under warranty the keyboard broke.
Out of warranty the video card broke.
To replace the video card when out of warranty, you had to get the lower memory video card. They would NOT sell me the original. 
The good news is that it can be fixed at home with little mechanical skill. 
Make sure you get the longest extended warranty you can. On this machine it will pay for itself.

Tho only other minus is that even though it has a very large screen, the keyboard has no number pad.  I missed this after using the machine.

The machine when running was great. I was able to play games, load Linux, run whatever I wanted. The leds are fine but are only useful for bling, nothing practical. I ended up turning mine down and ignoring them.
