The Pros:1280 x 800 native resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, a relative rarity with laptop displays. Touch-sensitive volume control and mute buttons are a nice touch, work well.
The Cons:Well-known chipset issue is likely to cause severe overheating and fry your processor. Fairly chunky and heavy at over 5 lbs. for a 14" laptop. Very limited battery life--2 hours max from full charge.
