Pros: Well its ASUS and with a reputable company like that you can expect a decent level of quality, which this product exceeded in my expectations. Great performance for a laptop. After shopping around ALOT I found this system was the best setup of hardware for the realistic price range a gamer like me would ever consider for a system thats not a desktop.
Cons: I could complain about First boot and setting up programs & preferences taking a while, but its that way with any system and to mark down a system for having to setup your personal preferences would be silly. I also could complain about weight or a number of other things, but when you get the hardware thats this has you will get these things as a byproduct its just simple math. If you want lighter and smaller then adjust what hardware you want in a laptop. ;)
Overall Review: Vista though new to me, doesn't seem to be the headache everyone has been complaining about, its new memory management system handles RAM differently so that even if its not required it utilizes the majority of the systems RAM for better performance overall. Adopting one of linux's philosophy that "Unused memory is wasted memory". So when you get a vista system with 2gb of ram and it says you system is using most of it, dont freak out, its on purpose and for a good reason.
