Pros
- Easy to use, built-in gesture controls
- Full-sounding audio from built-in speakers
- Mobile components deliver less performance than other desktop PCs
Cons
- Flimsy kickstand for the weight of the system
Bottom Line
The Aspire 7600U is a mesmerizing machine, but its mobile processor means less-than-impressive performance.
