From one of the comments:
Cons:
Not upgrade friendly: There's no easy way to access the RAM, HDD, or even the battery. Although I really didn't have any intention of upgrading it so it's not a huge deal. This laptop is what it is and the slow-ish processor with low-end integrated graphics will always be this computer's bottleneck. If I need a faster laptop I'd rather just save the upgrade money to buy a new laptop.
If this thing is running Windows 8, then it is already powerful enough to run Mint very very well. My visual crawler found this notebook model to be this:
Asus D550MA-DS01
