Pros: Good hardware for the price. I got two separate discounts which lowered the price to @$550.

Cons: Asus Bloatware is useless for the most part. I removed most of it and kept two programs for a rainy day when I get bored and might actually use them. In other words, I haven't used a single application. My wireless card failed after a month of usage.

Overall Review: The reason I am only giving 3 egss is because I used the recommended RMA process on ASUS website and was told I would hear back within 48hrs. It has been one week and nothing has happened and I haven't heard from them.
