Pros: Looks sharp, performed fine for the first couple weeks

Cons: Device has horizontal graphic bars (both in windows / bois). Multiple system repairs/diagnostic attempts later issue still happening. Currently won't post.

Overall Review: I purchased this device for my father as a 70th birthday, wanting him to have something nice when visiting family on the road. He used it in earnest late November and started encountering issues. Initially I thought it was just a matter of getting him used to windows 8.1, but upon using the device, realized it is seriously broken. I have attempted on multiple times to repair the issue by running the prompted diagnostics/etc., all to no avail. Device locks up, reboots at will, displays video corruption on the screen in no particular order. A shame since I've used the ASUS p35 Deluxe MB since 2008 and that product has been great.
