Pros: Decent speakers, excellent gaming and all around performance, some of the best specs for the price (got it for 1899), great connectivity options including rear power and HDMI hookups and plenty of USB ports

Cons: Bulky and heavy (obviously), ugly generic design (matter of taste), mediocre display, no dedicated volume buttons on a gaming machine (seriously??)

Overall Review: For the price and specs, you just can't beat this beast of a machine. Sure it's bulky and juvenile looking, but for real gaming power and portability, it's a winner. The well performing speakers with subwoofer are a nice bonus, and the mediocre screen is mitigated by an external display.
