Great Value
Pros: 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge CPU. Great Price. Not a lot of 3rd party junk.
Cons: AC adapter info is a bit confusing. Voltage range is labeled twice on it and it shows different ranges. Speakers are weak, don't expect to listen music on them.
Overall Review: AC Adapter looked like it only worked with 110V but after checking it better I did find that it does work for 100 - 240V which was a huge releif as I intend to use it outside of US. I posted a review ealier that states that it only works on 110V but I don't see the review anywhere so I couldn't edit the post. If it shows up, please ignore it.
Not for Travel
Pros: Great specs for the price. I thought the amount of bloatware was pretty limited. Performance seems great so far.
Cons: Specifications on the Newegg site list: 65W (19V 3.42A) 100-240V/50-60Hz AC Adapter This is not the case. The adapter is only good for 110V in the US and I needed a laptop I can use internationaly. Now I have to buy a replacement AC Adapter which adds to the cost of the laptop quite a bit.
Overall Review: If you intend to use it in the US only it's a great machine but the specs advertized are wrong and I had to deduct points for that.
