Pros: Low profile; heat sink isn't massive or pointlessly showy. Just nice quality ram.

Cons: None.

Pros: Very thin, very light. Great deal if you're not willing to make the jump to a full SSD hard drive. The 20GB SSD in this seems to help it boot nice and quick, only takes about 8-10 seconds before your password-prompt pops up. Works well for word processing, surfing, etc. Battery life is great at about 6-8 hours depending on what you're doing. Using power-saver features and you can easily get into the 9-10 hour range.

Cons: WiFi doesn't seem to be particularly strong, but it won't affect your work. Battery life does seem to dwindle when I played music through headphones, but it may have been because I use Zune, which can be a hog. Tons of pre-installed garbage programs. Be prepared to spend an hour removing useless program.s

Overall Review: It's a great laptop for the price. I use it as a student and at work and the low-profile is really a great perk.
