Pros: Worked great and was a super easy installation. Took maybe 60 seconds.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I can't complain about the lifetime warranty or free two-day shipping.

Powerful Laptop for those on a Budget

Pros: A total of $495 with ram and free two day shipping. Easy upgrade to 8gb of ram from the start. Snappy boot time of <10 seconds. The A8 is performing way better than expected at a constant 2.5+ghz. Thus far I've played Far Cry 3 and Skyrim, both of which easily run high graphics without any lag. I've heard lots of people complain about this laptop's heat, but my $30 fan seems to be doing the trick. The dual graphics are awesome. I also expected the speakers to be A LOT worse based on other reviews. I mean they are laptop speakers, but they aren't terrible. Definitely loving it thus far.

Cons: Learning to use Windows 8 is really the only con I have, and I actually kind of like it. Says a lot.

Overall Review: Definitely pickup the extra ram. It's cheap and especially so with the incredible performance boost. I'd recommend this laptop to anyone with a budget along with the ram upgrade before any other laptop that I have found below $700.

Pros: Pros: Works like a charm. I bought it for it's dual outputs so that I could flip between PC and Console gaming with ease. Great picture quality and decent setup. I've had it for eight months and haven't had a single issue.

Cons: Cons: if you, like me, decide to use a console (For me PS3) on it, than you will be forced to you a headset for audio. Luckily I have a nice headset so the only time that this poses a problem is when I have friends over, but this is a very small con.

Overall Review: Fantastic buy for a decent price.
