I gotta say that my favorite thing has to be the affordability. It's a great price for the features that it has, and is not an overkill gaming laptop like the ones you're starting to see more of. This is one of the more practical solutions that I have seen in a while, great for travel uses, but doesn't try to compete against a desktop pc due to its affordability. As of late, the pricings really make you have to choose between building your own pc or buy a gaming latop, this one gives you the option to do both without it being completely unreasonable... if you have deep enough pockets anyways.
