Pros: Good looking, light weight, screen resolution is good, keyboard is fine, for this price point the hard drive space is good & it has the ability to increase the RAM

Cons: mouse pad is extremely sensitive & poorly placed (Where the base of your hands naturally rest during typing, they tend to brush against the mouse pad, which causes the cursor to jump around. This is especially annoying when typing.) The right/left click bar at the bottom of the mouse pad area is awkward to use. It seems that because everything is so level, it's hard to find the bar when you need to click...you have to look down to find it at times. More of a software issue, but the power settings cannot be changed from the default. This seems to be a problem with Windows. The power supply input is in an awkward position because it hinders the optimal drive from opening properly (the plug gets in the way).

Overall Review: It's a good looking laptop and very light weight. It's a great value for your money. The only major negative is the sensitivity & placement of the mouse pad.
