Pros: This laptop is quite amazing. Sleak, sturdy and efficient cooling. It has a pretty nice video card. When I got it I upgraded the HDD to a 7200RPM and put 8GB of RAM in it. It plays WoW fairly well. Can't run max settings though since the last patch switched WoW to DX11.

Cons: If laptop is resting on your legs the intake for the fan is where your left leg would be, not a huge deal. That's really my only complaint! I love this laptop!

Pros: It's a really nice monitor. Bright, colors are good, crisp. I like the stand and that it has built in speakers. Very large! Great price.

Cons: When I run 1080p the display area shrinks so that there is about a half inch border all the way around it. Every other resolution runs full screen though. Speakers aren't the BEST quality, but they do the job. HDMI is not sending sound to the monitor, that could be the cable though.
