Pros: Having dual cores allows multiple tasks to be completed very well. While have an external 19" LCD monitor attached, I have been very pleased with the pictures of both screens running in unison. I have worked on graphics with the main screen and watched movies on the 19". Like I said earlier, runs flawlessly. the 5 USB ports come in hand and I have utilized all of them. This laptop has satisfied all of my computing needs. Don't wait and THINK about purchasing this laptop. Just DO IT! I have performed numerous searches for notebooks in this price range and nothing out there can compete.

Cons: This notebook looks very plain and is not as sleek as some of the other notebooks on their product line. My previous notebook was an Asus W3A, and I loved the design, especially the W3J. This is solely my opinion and to many others this design is innovated. Other than physical looks, this laptop is still top ranked for the price range.

Overall Review: You may do your own research, but I know this notebook will not disappoint you. With a 256MB ATI X1700 dedicated video card, you will be doing more than most notebooks on the market can do at this price range.

Pros: This system was super easy to set up. I installed a molex to sata connector along with a sata cable for a 64GB SSD for the OS. I then installed 4 2TB drives to the trays. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and set up my share drives. Everything runs smooth and in my house, I'm using all 4 Apple Computers and this server. All Mac OSX computers run 10.7.3 Lion and using Remote Desktop Connection to tap into the server. It allows me full access to the server to edit anything relieving me from having a monitor tied to the server. This server came with 8GB DDR3 and I installed a PCI-E Radeon HD 6450 1GB Fanless Video Card.

Cons: none!

Overall Review: Super Affordable Server!
