I've got this laptop and i love it had it for 2 months

But there are issues for the price its a great build however the touch sensitive buttons are hardly touch sensitive, some force is used to make them activate

Video card is 256Mb which is amazing for a laptop (you categorize this model as mid range but thats a high end feature in my books) However my model came standard with 4Gb memory which is great but theres no 64bit OS option not yet anyway which is annoying to say the least

But too say the least this is an amazing laptop i paid $1600 so a few issues is understandable in such a power rich laptop

It’s not the most powerful, but its games performance and features help the Toshiba A350 stand out in the price bracket for mid-price laptops

Kogan's Agora netbook lacks real innovation - but at least there's Linux

Average User Rating 6

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.
