The design is cool and its one of the thinnest they’ve brought out. Due to the wedge shape and hinge mechanism, the screen appears lower than usual. It also uses a cool back-lit keyboard for night browsing. Now that looks good!
It has basic features -
- 15.4″ or 17″ Widescreen Display
- Fingerprint reader for the security conscious
- Optional Blu-ray drive
- HDMI output to connect to your large HD screen
- 5.1 Sound
- Optional built-in mobile broadband (this is going require an additional monthly charge)
