Pros: The machine is blazing fast. I have started running games at highest settings. I play mostly MMO's (SWTOR, Eve Online and recently Elite: Dangerous). I run these games at the best possible graphics settings with only slight stuttering when in busy, communal areas. I have only started to determine if this is an internet bandwidth issue or a hardware issue.

Cons: Heavy, but I don't mind. I have carried around worse.

Overall Review: Open spot for an additional stick of RAM. Uses the M.2 version of SSD's. Had to remove partitions and combine as one. For some reason ASUS decided it was a good idea to split the 1TB physical drive into 2 500 GB partitions. Wish I could view the UEFI/BIOS before POST. I am not sure if I have the option to boot from a different source (such as a Linux live disk for diagnosing/repairing problems). I also wish I could find a way to make recovery DVD's should the operating system crash.

Pros: A very stable piece of hardware. No issues to date. Memtest has yet to find an error.

Cons: no cons to date.

Overall Review: Considering getting another gig. Newegg your the best.
