Pretty good

Pros: Solid design, sleeves stay in place pretty well
Cons: sleeves are double sided and are precut, but the excess isn't removed. A number of the sleeves were miscut to the point they weren't usable
Overall Review: I like this product, it makes a good DJ box at a much lower price than the mainstream ones. It's sturdy enough that I stand on it regularly and it hasn't shown any wear. unfortunately the sleeves are double sided, so it's difficult finding discs if you just throw them in there like I do, and some of the sleeves were malformed in manufacturing
Initial Thoughts

Pros: I'm not going to go into detail about the pro's but I do highly recommend this computer
Cons: Speakers aren't very good: the speakers are highlighted as one of the selling points of this computer; however, they are awkwardly positioned somewhere between the monitor and the base, this results in awkward metallic reverberation, they are also much heavier on the high end. Also it has a subwoofer installed on the bottom of the base. it actually works rather well but in combination with the main speakers the sound is really lacking in the middle of the frequency range, it requires constant tweaking with the equalizer and results vary when moving from music to video to games etc. The screen: the anti glare finish works great, colors are crisp and I haven't noticed any bleed or anything but it doesn't get very bright. It's bright enough 99% of the time but if you try to use it outside it's just not enough. The hard disks are partitioned strangely OS disk is 95GB, their is an drive at 121GB (I assume the other half of the 256SSD) and there are two 465 GB drives. I don't understand why they would do that. Bloatware. Lots of it. most of it's fine, I appreciate having an equalizer and a graphics tweaker but did they really need to install Agatha Christies mystery bundle? Mine happened to arrive with minor scuff marks and crud on various points on the frame. Everything came off, but come on. Most of the ports (power, ethernet, HDMI) are on the right side of the frame.
Overall Review: As a consumer I usually look for all the things that are wrong with a product more so than the positives because the manufacturer is more than happy to advertise those, and I've tried to cater to that mindset here. That said, this is very good laptop and I'm happy to recommend it; moreover, I would say that it is a much better buy than offerings from MSI or Sager at the same price point.
