Features

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

What's Hot

Overclockable, e-SATA, HDMI

What's Not

Louder than average operation and extremely noisy when overclocked and under heavy load, faster FSB speeds of the desktop CPU are almost wasted on a notebook motherboard

The Final Word

It's hard to agree with this format as there is little benefit for a lot of work and considerably more noise. It's not that it hasn't been well engineered or that it doesn't produce good results, it's just that it doesn't seem worth it. For the same price you can get an equal performer with less of a heating issue and less bulk. As a desktop replacement it's fine, but as a notebook we're not impressed.
