Pros: Quiet. I really, really like the construction of the chassis and the quality of the screen. Quiet. Runs great as long as you immediately gank the spindle-based hard drive out of it and replace it with a much faster type with no moving parts.
Cons: Very few cons. BIOS does not acknowledge the Samsung 256 gig SSD that I put into it, which cost me about a day of troubleshooting, firmware flashing, etc. before I discovered that it didn't matter, and that I could just install the SSD, install an O/S to it, and it would boot fine.
Overall Review: The backpack that (currently) comes with it is worth having, reasonably well-constructed, and no obnoxious logos. Have not used this model for gaming. Am just a power user and want a machine that can keep up.
