Pros: Super fast! Boots up in seconds! Hardware is great quality! Outer case feels incredibly sturdy! All around great computer!

Cons: Comes with a bit of bloatware, but it's not too difficult to remove. Not much of a con, but you'll spend some time optimizing for ultimate performance.

Overall Review: I'm a 26 year old, ex-college student that was looking for an ultra-reliable laptop that didn't have a fruit on the cover. I'm already impressed by everything. All the reviews I read about the keyboard being hard to type on, well, if you're intelligent and know how to type, you'll be fine. If anything, it's OVER-sensitive. The touchpad is just fine if you actually read the directions and learn what it's capabilities are. Otherwise you'll be like an 80 year old complaining about CDs. The PC is great. You won't be disappointed, if you're anything like me, just looking for an impressive, all-around ultrabook. YOUR MONEY IS WELL SPENT if you're trying to avoid the big APPLE.
