Pros: It's a pretty machine visually. The display is beautiful and 16.4" monitor is perfect for wide-screen formatted subject, as well as a nice step down from a 17" - I actually like it a bit better!! 4 GB is also great a must these days Processor is pretty nice, fast, and gives great battery-time, and I never hear a sound from it.

Cons: The BluRay Drive is Read only.. you won't be burning any BluRays on this one. My first hard drive broke rather easily. I simply bumped it with the AC/DC adapter (the box located middle of the computers cord). Vista.. ughhh.. not a very sound operating system, escpecially if moving from XP. And it's OS is64-Bit, which a great deal of companies don't make drivers for!! Even Cisco's VPN client is not updated for the 64-Bit version!
