nice, ill take 2
 
Ridiculous. Far mor epowerful Toshiba X205 is much less expensive, and can at least play HD-DVDs. Why pay so much just to burn them? If you need to burn them so bad, get a desktop that can.
 
honestly thats the only line of laptops they make good. the rest suck.
 
My only beef with this laptop is the fact that the actual screen does not go all the way to the edge. Looks kinda stowpid, like an OLPC.
 
Man, just a little too expensive. If it were $1000 cheaper, I'd sell my iMac for one in a heartbeat.
 
As much as I like that, would your laptop battery last long enough to burn an HD-DVD? why would you use a laptop for such a task anywho.
