A really good laptop for the price, if you know how to format your computer and know how to shop around. The most important thing that you need to do with this laptop is to get 4 gig of memory and then install windows 7 64 bit on it, also like the previous reviewer said keep only 1 partition on your computer!
When I got the computer 3 months ago, with Core 2 duo 2.23, 4 gig DDR3 .... it was $1800, I couldn't find a computer with a non-intel graphics card that is about 14inches for that price or anywhere close to it, and if you code on the computer the DDR3 is a really sweet deal
The good: read the comment
The bad: No 64bit drivers for custom buttons on the laptop, need to have some technical knowledge how to setup the computer properly but that goes for every single laptop out there

Why split the HDD into two partitions?
Putting data in the second partition only forces excess head travel between the partitions resulting in lower performance. Better off leaving the data in the OS partition where it will be much closer to the OS and applications.
Separating Data only improves performance if it is on a second HDD.
I use a small partition at the end of the HDD for storing copies of the installation files of all drivers, applications and OS just in case of emergency.
