This laptop is amazing bang-for-the-buck.
Pros
-Pretty lightweight
-Small powerbrick(for those that travel a lot, this is important)
-Nice display(great brightness)
-Number pad - I require a number pad on my laptops, and this one is very nice, particularly for a 15.6" laptop. No complaints about keys being to close together.
-Love the design of it(it's not ugly/unappealing).
Cons
-Only 3 USB ports - If you aren't using a docking station, this can be annoying. It's easily resolvable with a USB hub, but, just feels like there should be at least 4 USB ports on every laptop anymore.
-Not the greatest video card. For all the other great specs this system has, don't expect to be able to play modern games on this guy. I didn't buy it for gaming, but tried to install a game from my Xbox Anywhere collection(Forza Horizon 3), and while every other spec is at or above recommendations, the video card's low memory makes it so the game won't even try to run. To be clear, this will be just fine for anyone doing business or even watching movies, just don't expect to play games on it.
Neither Good Nor Bad
-The light-up keyboard - I can't decide if I like the light-up keyboard or not. I'd like to be able to change the brightness at the very least.
