Sorry to be a wowser, I am trying to turn over a less negative leaf,
but this product is just woeful:

You seriously want an embedded non changeable battery that lasts a
paltry 8 hours, compared to the figures of more than twice that (19
hours) for the new smaller, lighter, cheaper Dells? To top it off, the
17" is anything but portable for daily use, so who cares how long the
battery lasts anyway - not to mention using it as a desktop
replacement will be horrible for your neck and eyes (got the physio
bills to prove that one).

I can't think of anything good about it apart from the "Unibody".

The 15" squeezes into the daily portable range, but has a paltry 5
hours battery life, as did my three year old Dell that was half the
price.

In the case of the 17", whoever decided to market portable devices
without swappable batteries should be shot. Hard.
