  can't seem to find any proper reviews on this, so not sure how good/bad the notebook is.

  however, pricing seems quite good considering it retails for $549:

  ..and prices on static ice aren't any better:

  cpu is on par with:

  AMD Athlon II P360 3728
  Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 3732.5
  Celeron Dual-Core T3100 3740

  CQ62 shell is not a bad chassis

  i have a CQ42 and it's well built

  not excellent but good for the money

  Looks good if you need something cheap but larger screen and better performing than Atom/Zacate netbooks. If we're lucky we might shortly see notebooks at pretty close to this price with low-end Llano processors, which have greatly improved integrated graphics.

  Definitely worth it to spend a bit more, and get something better.

  Used a T6100 I think, and it was absurdly slow. Felt like an atom, or worse.

  Not so bad with office/firefox, but for some reason, puzzle quest (we're not even talking the sequel) would take an unexaggerated 90 seconds to start. It's a 2d thing that shouldn't take more guts than a 386 could muster.

  I'd advise everyone here that the $100 savings vs an i3 is not worth it. Excruciating.
