Battery stopped holding a charge 3 months after the warranty expired (Buyer note, warranty is only 1 year not 2 like some other manufacturers).  Proceeded to buy a supposedly brand new battery from parts distributor which cost me $120. Now the laptop doesn't charge at all and periodically says there is no battery connected. Nice laptop but I guess they cheap out on motherboards and batteries. I'd also suggest thinking of buying the extended warranty as 1 year is definitely not enough.
