Pros: Very small and quiet. It mounted easily on the back of my monitor. I use it for basic desktop applications, email internet etc. I haven't seen any problems with speed in these basic apps. I have tried playing back HDTV video files using PowerDVD and have had good results in Windows Media Player. Mostly 1080i, I'm sure that 1080P or bluray won't work. I have also tried 720P x286 .mkv files with less than stellar success. I think all the decoding is done by the cpu and the atom just isn't up to it. I hooked this up to my Kill-A-Watt and never saw it pull more than 21 watts and ussually idles at 17 to 18.

Cons: Not having a CD drive is a bit of a bother, but, not a deal breaker. I was able to install quickbooks by copying the files from the CD to a USB thumb drive. I imagine this would work for most other software. Most anyone who shops here probably gets all their software via downloads anyway.

Overall Review: For the average user this would make a great desktop, everyday PC.
