- Many people have problems with the Sound cards. My sister just got a brand new one and the sound has only worked once.

Pros
- Audio gets a bad rap, but it's because people don't understand that they have to turn on the SRS Premium Sound program (comes installed) to get better sound. For a laptop, sound is excellent through that program.
Cons
