bought this laptop a while back because I wanted something powerful enough for gaming/programming, and portable enough to bring to class and use for taking notes. the hardware inside performs well, but the build quality of the laptop is truly awful and makes me yearn for my old ThinkPad.
both of the plastic shrouds covering the hinges for the screen have broken off, the fans are loud (and have some pretty irritating coil whine), and the headphone jack has become INCREDIBLY loose after just two years of consistent use. the jack slides out CONSTANTLY, and shoving it back in after the connection gets broken by the tiniest pulling force has become a reflex. with the price I paid, I figured I would be able to get several years of solid use out of this thing before it would start to break down. while it might have some pretty nice specs, it doesn't matter if the laptop itself is a pain in the ass to use.
oh well, lesson learned i guess :p
