Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Cheap. Cheap material, that is. You can practically flip the laptop over and fry an egg on the bottom of it too. It's that hot.

Weaknesses: WORST TECH SUPPORT AND RMA SERVICE EVER. PERIOD.

Overall Evaluation: Already had THREE RMAs.The first time windows wouldn't boot up, "Disk Read Error, Please restart."sent it in for RMA.2 weeks later they sent it back.EXACT SAME PROBLEM. They didn't Fix a THING. No Documentation NOTHING.2nd RMA and they finally fixed it.Couple weeks later.On my third RMA, the screen developed bright vertical lines across it. Bending the flimsy screen develops other lines.Tech support tells me to reinstall drivers or do a system restore. They are UTTERLY USELESS. It's OBVIOUSLY a hardware problem due to the flimsy screen.Sent it in for RMA. They tell me they need to do a system restore. They send it back.I boot up.Windows error message: "Windows cannot start because the file comdlg32.dll cannot be found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". AND ANOTHER ONE:"the system is not fully installed. Please run setup again."on top of that, the CD drive cannot be detected so I can't even boot from the CD.BUY THEIR LAPTOP ONLY IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE HELL.~~Additionally, their email support is horrendously disorganized. Firstly, a different person responds to your email each time. I've had tech support people tell me conflicting things. One demanded an inquisition of questions regarding my purchase before issuing an RMA #. After I strongly complained, the next guy finally issued me an RMA # without the inquisition. Ridiculous.
