Pros: Just a note…These APU’s LOVE fast memory. The faster the memory, the better the performance. The standard memory is Pc3-8500 (DDR3 1066) which is pretty slow for today’s standards. For ~ 40 to 45.00, you can upgrade the ram from 4 to 8 gigs and upgrade to DDR3 1333. This WILL boost the performance of the system. Also, if your able, a SSD drive would make this thing very Zippy and help extend the battery life. While the GHz is not high 1.4 – 2.3 turbo….the four cores will help with any multitasking you may need. I’m looking at getting this for my twin sons, but holding off till next birthday.
Cons: Slow Ram and HD.
Other Thoughts: This will NOT be a good option for hard-core gamers, but for movies, music, as well as school/business work. It should be a very good/low cost option.
