Pros: Screen Size, Durability, Keyboard, Features, build
Cons: Weight, glossy finish, fan gets loud
Overall this is a v. solid computer with all the great features you need, some v. minor issues that would make it a 5-star all around!
Pros:
1) Great configurations (500 GB hard drive, 4 GB memory) at a reasonable price
2) Ports (4 USB!!, HDMI, etc.) selection is excellent and placement of these ports is v. user-friendly
3) Keyboard v. comfortable to type on
4) Build is solid with some minor flex only at center of lid when closed
5) Great webcam, it's 2.0M, not 1.3M on most other computers
6) Great addition of the dust filter!
Cons (most aren't that critical):
1) The glossy finish makes it easier to attract dust or get scratched
2) (v. minor issue) you have to hold the Fn key to access "Home," "End," and "Prt Sc" keys
3) The fan gets a little loud when running some memory-intensive applications
4) The screen is glossy and quite reflective - not extremely clear if you want to watch something under sunlight
