Pros: Good construction, extra memory slot open in a new box (which seems to be rare these days), Win7, quiet and fast. Plenty of horsepower to run multiple and fairly intensive apps at the same time.

Cons: I'm used to a traditional keyboard but this one is more like a laptop with a lot of the keys that are usually separated by some space all jammed together. No big deal considering the price I paid and the cost of a better keyboard.

Overall Review: I was amazed at how quickly I was able to get this machine out of the box and up and running. I like that it has Win7 with the $15 upgrade to Win8 after all the crash test dummy customers of Bill Gates are done doing his bug testing for him! This machine handles multiple, fairly highly intensive, applications running at the same time. I'm a ham radio operator and do a lot of digital radio communications and it's great to be able to do that at the same time that I am running a video conference.
