The cover is a stainless steel sheet--very very sleek but it has to live in a laptop bag because unlike an ABS plastic shell, the stainless will dent like a '74 Ford Pinto. Ask me how I know? I now have a nice little "door ding" from a pen because I threw it in my suitcase and danced off to a four day conference.
The touch pad is so good, I haven't even added a wireless mouse. The keyboard feel is also good, the screen bright and clear. There is a funky little keyboard light (for airplane night use) that pops out and lights up when you open the laptop. It's fairly useless, but was a nice thought.
The battery life on wireless seems to run about 3 hours. The power supply is a honkin' big brick.
Bottom line; for what I paid, I'm completely satisfied. It's not meant to replace my desktop (I know, I know, who uses a desktop anymore?) but I use it around the house as a mobile computer, and it travels well. It's fully functional for uploading pictures, running DVD's and accessing the internet. As it's heavier than a netbook, if all you do is go online, this is overkill if that's all you really want to do.

I needed a starter computer for my brother and this unit does great. Being refurbished meant the cost was less and I got the most computer for the buck. Its been working great.
