I have been thouroughly enjoying this notebook computer!Edited a short film (28 minutes) first week I had it. Everything went suepr well.I installed Windows XP on a partition drive of the notebook, and am mostly using XP.The battery life is great with XP (probably 2-3 hours per battery). I also purchased an additional battery.The battery life with Vista is terrible!Great notebook for super productivity, the turn around screen is very helpful. It is a bit on the heavy side, but I got used to it afeter a week or so.A+
