    Two reasons: AMD and you can make fun of the styling all you want but its better than that tacky XPS, love the power and price but hate the styling really thats all thats wrong with it though.

    Yes the styling is something that will catch ones eye when its out and about , appreciated by grab and run thieves everywhere , as for me low profile w/ K.A. power is the way to go (except for desktops).
