Overall, I am very happy with this laptop. I've had zero problems with it so far, and everything seems to be in working order. Those pictures were taken from my camera's memory card straight from the media card reader on the front.

I've ordered 2 gigs of ram, and it is coming in the mail now. Here's the ram I ordered:
