Pros: In comparison to the last A8 machine I owned (A8-4555M), it is a large step up in performance. I am capable of running virtual machines with good performance, plays some games on medium settings with decent framerate and the laptop is upgradable to around 16GB of RAM if I ever needed it. Throw an SSD in here and it'll be zooming. After upgrading it to Windows 10, it's been a dream machine. I have since been using Ubuntu due to different needs, but it works well on both platforms. Bluetooth is a nice addition as well. I am able to make Skype calls with family, friends and co-workers with my wireless headset and don't constantly need to carry around a wired one.
Cons: -There is a bug with the Dell power settings where the computer will not wake back up from suspend in Windows 10. I have since switched to Ubuntu, not because of this issue, but I haven't had an issue with this on Linux. -The network card is more to be desired. It gets the job done, but don't expect to get performance like a dual band wireless card. It says it's capable of connected to 802.11 B/G/N networks, but the only ones that show up are 802.11 G. Really terrible if you're in an area with congested 2.4GHz networks. If I can, at least in a public area, I try to tether with my 4G on my phone's data plan so I don't have to get frustrated with it.
Overall Review: I would recommend this as a travel/work/light gaming machine. I originally bought this so I could travel for work, work on schoolwork and play a game every once in a while.
