This laptop is awesome!  Much better looking in the real than in the add showed.  Nice textured black and silver exterior with beveled edges.  No issues with the hardware or operating system.  Has the built-in DVD player that is very rare to find now.  The engineering on this laptop is much better than any of my more expensive late model laptops.  runs cool and has a quiet fan.  Only bad is that the camera on this one is out of alignment with the case so half the video is chopped.  probably came loose in shipping.  That's not a show stopper at all as I could just get out the tools and fix it myself but actually I don't use a camera at all anyway.  I'd purchase another one just like it but what would I do with two of them?  :)
