Overall Review: As a CSCI student I needed a laptop that could handle running 4-6 virtual machines at the same time. Most laptops that fit this bill are large, clunky and are obviously gaming laptops. The AERO line has of laptops had everything I needed, at a rather affordable price. The screen is absolutely gorgeous, this laptop is thinner than most, and the alluminum frame makes me much more comfortable about stuffing it in a backpack and carrying it around campus. 8GB of RAM is the only downside to this laptop, this is not nearly enough for a gaming/ creator laptop. All in all a great laptop, and easy to expand for people who need a bit more power.
