Pros: I like the hexacore processor and the surprising ease of upgrading, I also very much like the Nvidia graphics card. I have a dual boot Windows/Ubuntu set up and it works just fine for me. I would recommend upgrading the RAM and installing a second hard drive(SSD). I would recommend 12-16GB of RAM, and 120GB+ SSD.and some extra fans.

Cons: It’s really Heavy, and the outside isn’t much to look at. The cooling system is not sufficient, needs extra fans!
