Pros:

Compact chassis. Interesting styling. Solid-state hybrid drive. Quiet fans. Good gaming performance.

Cons:

Needs two power plugs. External power supplies. Difficult to open case and work with internal components. Very limited internal expansion. Eco Energy mode setup is overly complicated
Two external power bricks require two wall sockets, Lastgeneration Nvidia graphics, CPU and GPU could be better balanced
