First and foremost, because this laptop is built by MSI, there is NO BLOAT. None of that extra useless junk every other company puts on your computer. It comes with one thing pre-installed: WinRAR(other than the OS and all the standard windows components), surprisingly it doesn't come with Firefox pre-installed, though. On first bootup it will ask you which extra programs you want to install. The Burning software is required(to burn the recovery disk I suppose), and the CrazyTalk webcam software(I highly recommend installing it, you can have fun just playing with your webcam for hours!!)
The graphics on this laptop are top of the line. I can play Call of Duty 4 with full graphics with a minimum of 50-60 fps. If you are a gamer on the go this is definitely the laptop for you. The built in bluetooth is also a major plus(due to the lack of usb ports). I use a bluetooth mouse with it.

Cheap MSI GX620-001US For Sale + Review
Cheap HP G60-230US For Sale + Review
This laptop is fast with a generous 3 GB RAM and 320 GB hard drive. The display is bright and wide, great for watching DVDs. I also like that it has an HDMI port for easy connectivity to an HDMI-capable HDTV. With Windows Media Center or just about any other multimedia application, you can watch the DVDs or other videos on the HDTV. The HDMI yields an excellent, crisp picture on the HDTV, and since HDMI carries audio too, there's no need to run a separate audio cable or external speakers! The touchpad is among the best I've ever used, and it's not over-sensitive so your cursor doesn't jump around the screen as you type. The laptop also comes with a LightScribe DVD burner, supporting DVD +/-, R, RW, DL, etc. DVD-RAM is also supported.

Cheap TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5933 For Sale + Review
Very nice solid build, nice keyboard, display is right on the dot. The whole desktop looks nice and has a nice glow to it. Computer runs smooth even from the start, disabling extra programs will seal the deal with whatever business applications you're trying to run. Wireless card picks up amazingly and the face recognition detection is nice the best part is the storage and RAM which allows someone to use this as their main computer. With plenty of storage, it's easy to store your files to take with you and you can pick up a connection easily.
Cheap TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5921 For Sale + Review
This laptop is great. I partitioned the hard drive and store all my keeper files on the second drive, and I have Windows XP Pro installed, so this section of the review is based on the fact that this laptop performs excellent with this software.
The screen is fantastic; widescreen and vibrant at a resolution of 1280 x 800. The hard drive is large and runs its processes relatively fast... 150 GB should be adequate for anyone who does not need storage for hundreds of movies or videos. The processor is a dual core Intel, and coupled with the 2GB of DDR ram, I never really have to wait for anything to process, at least not that I have noticed. Big applications like Photoshop will still take a few seconds via splash screen to load. The burner is great too--I have already burned quite a few CDs and DVDs and they only take about two to seven minutes to do, depending on the amount of data.

Cheap ASUS Eee PC 900HA For Sale
The laptop is loaded with features useful to someone on the go. The small size and light weight means you can toss this machine in a book bag and head off to the library or the coffee shop without feeling as though you're lugging a heavy load around. The battery life is more than acceptable for these kinds of trips. The laptop does not seem to get very hot under normal tasks like word processing or looking around the Internet. Immediately after receiving the unit and charging the battery, I installed eeebuntu on the machine via USB thumb-drive. I now have a wonderful little machine that I can take anywhere to do what I need. I'm debating whether or not to pick up one of the clear protective cases that snaps on the machine to protect it from scratches.
