With that heft comes features, though. You get a full-size, backlit keyboard with numpad, a CD/DVD burner drive, a large 15.6in screen and a decent helping of connectivity. Three USB 3.0 ports are joined by an HDMI video output, headphone jack, SD card reader and Ethernet port. All the key bases are covered ensuring you should seldom have need of extra dongles or external drives.

Finishing off the green theme is the keyboard, which has both green lettering and backlighting. This can be turned on and off but there's no brightness control, which is slightly disappointing but by no means a dealbreaker.

The keyboard’s typing experience, meanwhile, is nothing above average. The keys are laid out well with no keys overly squashed up or rearrange. I’d prefer the cursor keys were given a little more room but other than that it’s perfectly serviceable.
