Pros: Battery Life! Mine lasts for easily 6-7 hours of normal use and possibly more if I'm just doing normal tasks like browsing websites. Aesthetics. This thing doesn't look ridiculous like most gaming laptops and its form factor fits most professional style settings. Powerful. The Aero14 has so much power packed into this small form factor with the Core I7 and the GTX 1060 inside as well as the SSD its all added up to a very powerful machine. -Even with the stock "bloatware," I haven't noticed any significant slow-down of the software while using the laptop. **Edit** - Its been almost a year now and this laptop is still awesome. Things that I have noticed though. My battery life no longer lasts nearly that long now. I get maybe 2-3 hours out of it at this point, and that's with the battery saver enabled. Also, I travel a lot and I have a Samsonite laptop backpack that has a protective pocket for it in there. Even so, the plastic chassis has cracked near the SD card reader. Other than that though, I've had no complaints about this laptop at all. I was solely using this for months while I was traveling back from Japan to America. I played Kingdom Come Deliverance on it at 1440p running mostly high settings and was still getting 30fps. The only thing that I wish it had was a Thunderbolt 3 port like the Aero 15 and 15X..

Cons: The keyboard is not a great layout with the macro keys. I don't use macro keys for anything. Also, all of the keys seems to stick ever so slightly while I'm typing, unlike other keyboards and laptops I've used in the past.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this product to other people!
