    It looks decent for the price although it does not have Bluetooth and USB 3.0.
    I doubt battery run will be impressive with this battery capacity but that's about it when it comes to drawbacks.
    If I were you I would investigate some more to check how the cooling system is performing.

    If Best Buy has the Asus K53TA it's a much better deal. AMD A6 APU, plus an AMD 6650 GPU for the same price, $450. Right now it looks like most Best Buys are out of the K53TA. Here's hoping Asus makes another run of them. Another good deal on an AMD A series APU is the 14" HP g4-1117dx with an AMD A4 for $379 at Best Buy.
