Pros: Excellent value for the price (at time of purchase) Keyboard is comfortable even for my larger hands Less "bloatware" than I expected Easy access to internal components

Cons: None that I can think of!

Overall Review: This is my first laptop/notebook purchase; the price, at the time of purchase very low for the specs offered, is what initially drew me in. I am very pleased with the unit so far (five or six months of ownership when writing this), with zero complaints other than "why didn't I buy one sooner?" I'm not normally a fan of track-pads, and use a wireless mouse with my ProBook, but the one this ProBook comes with seems quite nice - good vertical and horizontal scroll responsiveness, without being excessively twitchy. And, happily for me, it can be easily turned on or off with a quick double-tap in one corner. It hasn't been needed yet, but the maintenance panel - openable with the same latches that hold the battery in place - is reassuring to me; it gives access to most or all of the internal components, without having to open the case up entirely. I'll be able to monitor for dust build up much more easily, something that concerned me about laptops before purchasing this one.
