Pros: -Monitor is amazing for games, absolutely zero ghosting -Monitor is amazing for movies, it can replicate "120 hz" trumotion/motion morphing technology PERFECTLY using "crystal player" (its best to have a higher end video card to get the best results)

Cons: -Color reproduction isn't as accurate as i'd like it to be, but after fiddling with a few settings its not BAD, but professional photographers/photo-editors beware, this is not the monitor for you. -Only has one hdmi port, it does work well with switches though.

Overall Review: 27.5" really is pretty big for a computer, it took me by surprise when i first unboxed it. Definitely the best bang for your buck considering the other choices. -be sure that if you're using this for a tv, to get some dsub to component/rca INPUTS. the ones which come with the monitor are....outputs, which still work, but only if the dtv box you're connecting has a place to accept the monitor's male connectors.

Pros: -Easier to upgrade than the 8.9, if you're stuck between the two, i highly recommend the 10.1. -Small, compact, and easily stowed away for on the go usage. -Can run movies pretty good, and can even run HD-movies fairly easily -Screen is bright and very vibrant -Battery life is no where near my main laptop (12 cell), topping out at about 5-6 hours, and around 4 hours if you're constantly taxing the system.

Cons: -Keys feel a little cheap, space bar has an occasional squeak to it. -Takes a second to get used to the smaller sized keyboard, but that's hardly a con. -Rocker bar on the mouse pad is hard to use. -Intel GMA (need i say more?)

Overall Review: I bought this netbook for my Mother and she absolutely loves it. It's great for on the go processing at school, work, or where-ever you need to go. The integrated graphics chipset isn't great but i knew that going in with my purchase. Despite that, you can make do and if you know what you're doing, this bad boy can handle all your HD content, music, email, surfing etc.
