The Pros:Nvidia Optimus - switches the graphics processing between the low power Intel GMA and the more powerful Nvidia GeForce 310 based on applications being run, saves the user time and battery life. Great portability. Impressive battery life of up to 10 hours.
The Cons:Noticeable keyboard flex. Cannot use Nvidia's drivers - must be downloaded from Asus. Not the most powerful laptop - not capable of playing new games, gets bogged down with multiple applications open.
