Conclusion

This system will serve the needs of most average computer users. Gamers may have issues with the limited graphics card, and the touchpad buttons definitely take some time to get used to. However, the system has plenty of power for the average user and for the occasional game, and also is a great aesthetically looking system.

Pros:

• Great looking system.
• Plenty of power and RAM for the average user.
• Great speakers.
• Comes with remote control and media buttons.

Cons:

• Touchpad buttons have a huge travel distance.
• No PCMCIA slot or DVI out
• No recovery software without burning your own.
• Very susceptible to fingerprints.
• Limited video card.
