	This machine Flies but its quiet heavy!! Reviewed by Stubey, 2008-11-19 20:22:49
I have on of these and I have to say its a beast of a machine. Only downside is its alot heavier than the standard laptop and the power supply is like a power station (Its massive). I suppose then its a trade off with functionality. After all this machine flies!! #1
