    My daughter bought one and it's been a lemon. Support is poor.

    Got one pretty much identical I believe (5536-5883) and been happy with it mostly. Might do a clean install of Windows 7 on it since Media Center seems a bit broke afterwards but otherwise okay. Depending on how big your Photoshop files are it should be okay, typical notebook drive speed will be a limitation. Games are a mixed bag--have played AOE3 on it with decent graphics quite well, but COD2 even in DX7 mode at low res just doesn't cut it for online multiplayer action.

    And for the price I paid it was a great deal ($388 USD shipped).
