Summary: After I first got this set up I really wanted... read more

Pros: It does all that is said - assuming you've just started using it - but see cons for XP
Cons: 'does all it says' - until you have used it a couple of days - then it fills up all C drive (4GB) ...why?... because XP has taken over 3GB!!. It is a crippling restriction of usability.
Am switching to Linux as it has become sluggish.Summary: Don't get XP - 20GB Ram on Linux models but o... read more
