What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: Hard Drive Failure after 4 days
I purchased 2 of these laptops on 7/17/14. After 4 days of use, one began experiencing loud clicks from the hard drive (very audible). I returned it for exchange on 7/22/14. Now after less than 24 hours of use, I am again having the same sound from the hard drive. This is an indication of an eminent hard drive failure to come. While the price was great, I am finding that the hard drives in these units are likely of not so good quality, and therefor not so much a good value overall. If I return this one, I will be expecting an upgrade replacement for the same money I paid.
This product is... easy to set up, lower quality than expected

Why the low price?

$249 for this laptop seems like a steal, is there something wrong with it?
Based on my experience within the last 6 days with two of these laptops, I would be inclined to say that the low price is reflected in the low quality hard drives used in these machines. I initially bought two of them. One works fine, the other had clicking hard drive after 4 days. I returned it and exchanged for another of the same model, and less than 24 hours later, I am starting to experience the same issue again...but this time it seems to be intermittent.
