Simple, Straight Forward
Pros: Not much to say, it is what it is. Nice discount compared to doing it via the MS store, easy to use and gets us up and going quick.
Cons: Have to wait for it to come in the mail. It would be nice if an email method was in place outside of the official ms store but I can understand there are complications.
Overall Review: My company occasionally needs to buy laptops rather than the usual towers and its just a bit harder to find competitively priced laptops with pro already installed compared to the tower market. This makes things easier by letting us buy a normal laptop and upgrade it company standards at little extra cost and have it done relatively quickly.
Sweet Spot of Price and Power
Pros: Good Power, decent price, and a great warranty.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Just started buying this model for our new employees, so far they've been great to work with providing good performance for the price and at this price I'm loving the built in 3yr warranty which happens to coincide with our expected retiring age for computers here.
Quick and Easy
Pros: Quick and easy way to take that pre-install trial from the oem and turn it into something useful. A very nice discount off the normal retail price.
Cons: Office always seems so expensive, but then it has plenty of abilities that I just don't use from day to day.
