Pros: - Extremely fast - Silent and low heat for a 550 graphics card - Amazing screen with bright colors and good contrast - Very loud speakers, like the uni-bar design. - Good quality case with quality parts

Cons: - Keyboard - Track pad is too close to keyboard and really big. Keep hitting it when typing which create an issue with focus. - 64-bit only, while this isn't a downside for most, I use custom applications and there was no additional drivers for USB 3.0 and other hardware - Speakers are loud but at max volume becomes slightly distorted - Cdrom\dvd is a bit flimsy - HDD very slow, highly recommend to upgrade.

Overall Review: While this machine has pros and cons it is a high end machine. I highly recommend it because the pros outweigh the cons. If you are looking for an extremely fast machine with good gaming hardware. I needed to upgrade the hard drive as it was just too slow and the bloatware on these machines are insane. After a good format and proper time to set it up, we have a winner.
