Pros: This laptop completely exceeded my expectations. I'm an art student so I need to run multiple graphics intensive programs at once, and this machine hasn't let me down. I run Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, a web browser and a media player, simultaneously without lag. Windows 7 is a plus, haven't had anything to complain about.

Cons: Gets fingerprints easily, but this isn't that big of a deal. Small amount of bloatware, also not a big deal, (easily removable)

Overall Review: I can't figure out how to modify the media button controls, right now its set to open Windows Media Center, when I want it to control the Zune player. This isn't necessarily a con, as I'm sure there is a way to modify this, but I can't find it.

Pros: Great screen, high resolution, high contrast ratio, unbeatable price. (well, I got a discount through the newegg mailing list.)

Cons: not the greatest driver support but its plug and play so that doesn't matter much.

Overall Review: Definitely recommend this monitor.
