Pros: This is one powerful machine, and you definitely get your moneys worth out of it. Performs very quick, runs everything I've thrown at it so far, runs a lot cooler then most laptops, and despite being a lot larger then most, its still quite easy to pick up and go without being too big and bulky. However....

Cons: ....after about 3 days, one of the two HDD's died on me, and I had to send it in for an RMA to get it fixed. ASUS is taking care of it though, and they were very helpful and quick to act. Just don't bother emailing them if you have a problem, I sent them a message 5 days ago and still haven't gotten a response, calling is the for sure way to go. Battery Life is also very short, I managed to get about 2 hrs out of it unplugged just surfing online, and I imagine it would sink a lot faster if I were doing some heavy gaming, but hey, this is built to be more of a desktop replacement then anything else, so I expected that going in.

Overall Review: If it wasn't for the dead HDD, it would have gotten a 5, but that forced me to drop it a rating for dying in such a short time.
