Cons

No HDMI ports, No wireless keyboard included, Poor speakers
Uses IR dongle for remote. Office 2007 Trial. No Blu-ray. Wireless keyboard and mouse optional. No HD inputs aside from Tuner. Tinny speakers.
No Blu-ray or HDMI; advantages of the quad-core CPU won’t be felt by mainstream users; bundled keyboard is poor
Underfeatured for its price; slow general performance; no HDMI input.
Touchscreen tech has taken its toll on screen brightness. No real touchscreen features built in. Concerns about tipping over (forward).
Small screen. Blocky design. Poor keyboard and mouse
