Pros:

Killer performance — absolutely unbeaten to date. Easytyping keyboard with lots of room (as you'd expect with 18.4 inches of screen space). Includes free backpack.

Cons:

Thighcrushing weight and soulcrushing ugliness. With all this space, we expect a few more ports (just four USBs, no DisplayPort). Optical drive difficult to get to; stutters strangely on DVD playback. Utterly useless touchpad — bring a mouse.
