Pros: Great form factor for a 15.6" laptop. Nice screen and keyboard layout. The trackpad's offset to the left side slightly. Save money, get the AMD processor (Win & Experience 5.0 out of the box) and spend it on dual channel memory (Brought experience score to 6.7) and get a better integrated graphics card, Win 7!!

Cons: Slightly flimsy disc drive. Track pad is slightly off putting unless your left handed, but a wireless mouse solves that problem. Win 8 recovery discs

Overall Review: Haven't had this laptop long enough to find cons other than those listed. The fan can come on somewhat quickly. Some bloatware that's easily removable
