perfect!... by adifferentduck on newegg.com Jan 11, 2011
I spent a lot of time and effort searching for the right laptop. I'm a student at a commuter college and needed something I would be able to carry around for 8-10 hours a day. Also I'm a heavy gamer and have loaded and played WoW (ultra settings), Dragon ...
 
Not bad by David from Ytown on amazon.com Mar 16, 2011
For the price and functionality of this laptop, it sure beats investing in something less functional such as an iPad (not trying to bash the iPad). My main goal was a portable device to take with me to be able to work on, tether a camera on a photo shoot, ...
 
Great for price. by Ynomeikiba on newegg.com Feb 17, 2011
I had a bit of confusion with the DXDiag telling me that I had Intel Graphics and not the Nvidia GT 325M that is listed. After some further research I found that this is simply due to the way the GPU and the CPU interract, and overall it has had no affect on my gaming.

Great 14" Laptop! by ragenkagen on newegg.com Feb 1, 2011
It is really hard to go wrong with this laptop. There are some comparable 15” laptops in this price range, but I wanted a little bit smaller laptop and this was perfect. While I believe gaming on a desktop is much better, it is still nice to be able ...

I have FX720. A TOTAL GARBAGE. PLEASE don't make the same mistake. by Andy Ko on amazon.com Dec 24, 2011
My brother spent over 700 dollars on this trash like notebook that crashes and freezes in such random times. I didn't do any upgrades and used it just as it came. This computer was always on a desk, meaning I never carried it around or dropped it. ...
 
not worthy of one star by K. G. Draper "KGD" on amazon.com Jan 25, 2012
Hard drive ruined in less than 7 months. Warranty work not being fulfilled after 2.5 weeks. No way to get any of the technical support to answer to the status on the computer. This thing does not even deserve to be a one star. AWFUL.
 
Blue Screen Issue by lot on amazon.com Apr 16, 2011
We ordered this machine because of the excellent specs for the given price point. However, we encountered blue screen issues for our first unit, and also on the second unit we ordered as replacement. The first unit worked well; but after a few hours ...
