The Pros:Outer case is solid, doesn't flex when opened or feel like it will crack. Plays videos smoothly, full screen with no stutter or blurring. Gaming is good, can run everything at medium settings and a few things at high settings.
The Cons:Frequent reliability issues reported with various internal components. Generates a lot of heat, fan tends to have to run all the time. Printing on the keyboard keys tends to rub off.
