Pros: I researched it first, and it seemed to be just what I was looking for, and it is. So, naturally, I like everything about it. It looks great; the screen is great; the feel of the keys is excellent; the touch pad is great and not insane like past touch pads which were maddeningly over sensitive. I love the lighted keyboard; it was one of my must haves. The name TUF is appropriate, as it has a metal top cover. It looks and feels sturdy and well built machine. And it's fast. Simpl put, I love it.

Cons: No cons.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to others. It's everything I wanted and then some.

Pros: Probably are pros, but can't tell yet.

Cons: Motherboard won't boot up but I strongly suspect that is due to buying memory not approved for this motherboard. I bought RAM using Crucial's website to find for RAM for this motherboard. Once installed it acted as if no memory at all was installed. So, I suspect it's the non-Asus approved RAM. At this point, I don't know

Pros: It works perfectly.

Cons: none.

Pros: None, but that might not be because of the memory. See Cons below.

Cons: The memory did not work in the Asus motherboard. I did not check the Asus website to see if the memory worked in the motherboard. I have bought Crucial memory for many years. So I checked their site for memory specific to the Asus P8Z77-V Pro board, which I bought, but it does not work. After checking Asus about memory, the Crucial memory was not on their list. At this point, I'm sure the memrory, cpu and board are good.

The item arrived quickly, was very well packaged, and was indeed as new. I do recommend this seller.
