This looks like an awesome deal to me… any input/experience with this laptop?

6

Ordered one and set it up for a friend. It would be a good deal at $100 more. Dumped Winblows first thing and set it up with Ubuntu and it seems lightening fast in what little time I had with it. Very thin and light considering the screen real estate and the DVD burner. Touchpad was a little oversensitive, but that’s adjustable and I’m heavy handed. Transfer was quick from USB3 and I saw no faultering or buffering of videos.

7

Assume wi-fi, but Bluetooth?

8

I still can’t stomach the Windows 8/8.1 OS. Looks like this comes with standard 8.1 (not Pro), so no downgrade option to Windows 7, correct?

9

Wireless: 1x1 802.11b/g/n WLAN
Bluetooth: No

Hope that helps.

10

According to Microsoft licensing, that is correct.

11

Will it qualify for free windows 10 upgrade?

12

Thanks

13

Yes, Windows 10 will be offered free to all legitimate Windows 8 and 7 installs. Meaning, I assume, that you will need the install key, but I don’t think that has been announced yet.

Windows 10 to launch ‘this summer’ with free upgrades even for pirated copies

I don’t know if I’d risk it, but interesting all the same.

Although I’m not a huge fan of W8, it does have a smaller resource footprint than W7. I just use classic shell (free download) and pretend it’s W7. I never even go to the tile part, I just stick to the desktop.

W8 does not come with mediacenter, so if that might be a stopper for a few people, if they have certain stuff that works with windows mediacenter

Seems like a pretty decent deal for a budget 17 inch laptop. Switch out the HDD for an SSD and get a huge performance boost. Get a USB enclosure for the HDD and use that as an external HDD- I would partition it and keep the OS on one partion as a back-up, then the other partition can be used for storage.

Pretty decent reviews at Amazon:

A bit late with this comment, but Windows10 (yeah, they skipped 9) is going to be free to anyone who has 7 or 8 loaded, and it looks to be better. Personally, everything I buy gets Linux loaded first thing, but that’s just me.
