Pros: Fast machine. I am using it with Handbrake to compress videos. It runs 3-4 X faster than my core 2 due machine. Little junkware. Just Office trial. Easily removed.

Cons: Construction is a little cheap feeling. DVD drive doors seem easily breakable. Fan runs constantly and is somewhat noisy. Doesn't bother me as i start a job and leave it. You might not be happy with it on your desktop.

Overall Review: I am pleased to get this power for the price point.
