The Pros:Performance is fast and responsive, everything launches and runs quickly. Multitasks many programs at a time without any lag. Graphics processing is very good with enough power to run many games well.
The Cons:Battery life is 2 hours at the most. Comes with a huge AC adapter that's a burden to carry around. Keyboard isn't backlit and is pretty hard to see in the dark.
