The computer is amazing in appearance and performance. In a world where most laptops are not very user upgradable, if at all, this computer is. Just a couple of screws on the bottom reveal slots for upgraded hard drives with 2 PCI express SSD bays, one SATA SSD, or conventional hard drive, user accessible RAM slots, and with the graphics amplifier you can even use desktop grade video cards. No bloatware was there, and it is fast out of the box. I have been using the laptop a couple of months heavily now for gaming and Microsoft Office. It is an excellent buy.

Why did Microsoft have to rebuild the wheel? Why could they not improve their OS without making everyone get used to a completely new look and user experience.
After giving Windows 10 a fair shot, I decided OS X from Apple is far superior in design, user friendliness, stability, and most of all security without using antivirus or spyware protection at all. No, I'm not a troll or fanboy. I spent my money to Microsoft. I'm just saying I wish I hadn't and won't again.

What's great about it: Well Constructed and it looks good.
What's not so great: Limited space, but perfect for many people.
The bag is comfortable to carry, carries just enough cargo for a basic trip, such as to work and back. If you are a bike commuter, you would do better with a Timbuk 2 messenger bag; however, if you want minimal space for a 15" or smaller laptop, and room to carry a few other things, this bag is perfect.

What's great about it: Fast And Reliable
What's not so great: Not as fast as some other SSDs
This SSD from Intel is very fast. It is not as fast as the Samsung Pro SSDs, but the 240GB Intel is actually has a little more than that. The amount of space above 240GB is not user accessible, and this extra space leaves room needed to allow the user to use a higher percentage of the 240GB it comes with. The drive is very well built. If you decide to use it in a PC desktop it includes a desktop adapter to fit it into a 3.5" bay. If you want the reliability of Intel and 240GB is enough space, or if you also use an external drive, this is a great choice.

What's great about it: Faster than a standard HDD and with huge capacity
What's not so great: Much slower than an SSD
I love the huge capacity of this drive; however, in comparison to a standard hard drive, it only boots about 10 to 15 seconds faster. It is still in my opinion half the speed of an SSD. The box is misleading with information that it has SSD performance with standard hard drive capacity. It is a standard hard drive with 8GB Nand flash memory acting as cache memory. This does improve performance enough to justify an additional 30 or 40 dollars over the cost of a standard hard drive. I wound up returning mine and swapping it for an Intel 240GB SSD. To me the pure SSD is really the much better choice, but if you want a standard large capacity hard drive go for this one.
