Bought this as a hybrid work/travel laptop. For the power it has, it's very light and portable. Overall I'm happy and I could use this as a full-time system if needed, but would want to add a cooling mat. Read description below if you're planning on using HDMI displays with this laptop.
Pros:
Hard drive capacity is large.
Video card allows for most games at decent settings.
Small footprint - easy to travel with in small bag.
Fast processor.
Cons:
It runs really hot, even for basic tasks like web surfing.
The fans are loud, probably because of the above.
The dongle I got didn't have an HDMI port and 2 of the existing dongles I had from previous systems didn't work with it - you have to have a high wattage port expander.
Battery life is only just okay.
