Pros: Fast, lots of connection

Cons: It is very, very fickle. Be ready to spend a lot of time debugging things that would be "no-brainers" on standard machines. I was assisted by a very competent team of professional tech guys, and it generated a fair amount of business for them. Turn on the mfg supplied "USB accelerator", and the images you are downloading from your camera get corrupted. Plug 2 card readers via the USB 3.0, you are good. Plug in a 3rd one and all of a sudden it chews up that card, you have to go through a recovery software. Load a very common photoshop plug-in used by thousands of user, and all of a sudden it will not boot-up, you have to do a windows repair and hope that your latest system image was good. Just know what you are getting into, this is not a plug and play machine.
