Pros: Great size and form factor, keyboard is easy to type on, screen is beautiful, doesn't get too hot underneath (but it does get hot on the left side, where the air vent is).

Cons: The trackpad buttons are terrible! There is a single piece of plastic that acts as both buttons, depending on where you press it. The problem is, you have to really press the corners of the thing. Anywhere in the middle and you are pressing neither button. There is really a very small area on either side that is actually a button. Why couldn't they have made a bigger button? This is way too thin and small. And it's recessed into the palm rest! You are way more likely to hit the palm rest than the actual button. On a well designed machine, this is just terrible.

Overall Review: HDMI is not listed in the specs. I took a gamble on this machine because neither Newegg nor Asus could confirm that this unit has HDMI out. Luckily, the good folks who designed this machine were not as foolish as those who wrote the spec sheet. The laptop DOES come with an HDMI port on the left side, as can be seen in the photos if you click on the picture.

Pros: Big and roomy, worked great while it lasted

Cons: Died suddenly after 14 months of light use (1-3x per week, always used foil so there was never any crumbs).

Overall Review: It worked great one day, then the next day it turned on but the heating elements did not get hot.
