Title: I love it, best system I have owned Date: February 3, 2008
ProsLots of USB ports
Blazing Fast, lets me load movies on my system lightning fast
Good looks.
Nice to have the 1TB hard drive. A year ago I would have thought a 1TB drive was a waste. Now between movies, music, games and photos I can fill it in no time.
Love the vista compatability mode. It let me use Mech Warrior game which was 98 compatable. I couldn't get it to work on my old XP Pro machine but now it works flawlessly.
ConsNone Yet. Except I am not really thrilled with the Adobe software. It works, but is too complicated for the level creation I need to do. Maybe after hours of reading I can learn yet another creation program and that will change.

Additional ThoughtsI bought two of the XPS 420's. One for my wife and one for me. We both love our new systems. I am a network consultant and these computers give me back the fun of owning a system you can play with. I highly recommend them.
