Pros: 1. Light- this thing is insanely light and thin, making it ultra mobile 2. Power- the SSD, quad core processor, and video card make this thing crazy powerful and fast compared to the relative price and mobility 3. The included software features are useful (fn-spacebar allows me to switch between performance and battery saving voltage strategies) 4. The included AC adapter is surprisingly long 5. I'm in love with the display, everything is bright, crisp, and beautiful 6. Package includes USB-ethernet adapter and mini-full VGA adapter in a carrying case in addition to the AC adapter (which has a fold-down AC unit). 7. Minor scratches and some residue stuck in the fan vents upon arrival, but no other major physical damage

Cons: 1. Battery life- Out of the box it is at 4hrs and dwindling, as opposed to the listed 6hrs 2. Startup- upon boot the auto-authentication of windows failed. Manufacturer tech support requested that I purchase their rescue DVD to fix it 3. Keyboard- keys are a little unusually flat, making them hard to locate by touch. The fact that the power button is right where the delete key normally is has tripped me up a few times. 4. The AC connection is a little terrifying. It is at most a couple of millimeters in diameter with a tiny plastic covering, making it very fragile looking. 5. Bluetooth and wireless are turned on and off using the same hotkey function, which makes sense for attempting to save battery but not for when you want to quickly turn one or other on/off. 6. Refurbs are shipped without recovery partitions or media, so you have to make your own recovery images or run the risk of losing your access to win7 x64

Overall Review: So far I'm happy with my purchase, but there are things that make me a little concerned for the lifetime of my product.
