Pros: Great laptop out of the box.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Out of the box it scored the following on the Windows Performance Index: 6.7 Processor 5.9 Memory 4.4 Graphics 6.1 Gaming 5.7 Hard Disk After installing an extra 4 MB memory module, a 240 GB SSD, and a fresh install of Windows 7, it scores: 6.6 Processor 7.1 Memory 5.2 Graphics 6.4 Gaming 7.7 Hard Disk

Pros: This is the best SSD I've ever owned for an hour.

Cons: It died after that hour. Had to spend ten bucks to ship back to NewEgg in hopes of getting another one that lasts longer than an hour.
