Pros: Touchscreen, plenty of memory, quick boot up and faster awakening and an optical drive to boot. I bought this computer as I went back to school and it has been great. I've used the presentation mode more than once while collaborating with classmates. Windows 8.1 apps can sync with google programs for calendar, contacts, drive, etc...

Cons: Comes preloaded with Lenovo and Microsoft bloatware, but what computer doesn't anymore? Just shutdown the programs that you don't use and uninstall if you haven't had any issues. Sometimes "apps" from the Microsoft store won't load or are glitchy, but that's usually because the program is trying to push an update.

Overall Review: I turned off all automatic updates from the Microsoft stores. Once an update is issued, unless it is required to use the program, I wait for a week or so to see the reviews, then I determine if I want to install it.

Pros: Fast, cheap, and instructions were easy to understand.

Cons: Only concern was that when I installed the heat sink, I was unable to get all 4 pags locked. I can get them all installed, but only 2 locked without popping one of the others out.

Overall Review: It also makes the motherboard bow (maybe this is a motherboard issue), but everything run fine. This is my first computer so I'm still learning.
