Strengths:
1) iFit Live Compatible

You can customize and download your own workout programs and workout with Jillian Michaels from 'The Biggest Loser' - where she coaches you through your workout.
You can also race against your Facebook friends, track your activity and nutrition online and even download new daily workouts to your treadmill.
2) Extra Long 60" Belt
This is Nordic Track's longest treadbelt and gives you extra room to move. You can pick up your pace without feeling like you're falling off your treadmill. Runners and taller users will especially like this feature.
3) Fitness Age Center
This is a built-in feature that lets you track your "fitness age" as you workout. You can watch as your fitness age drops as you increase your fitness level - a great little tool that can help inspire you to go further.
4) iPod Port With Speakers Built Into the Console
You can plug your iPod or MP3 player into the built-in audio jack and listen to your favorite music or audiobooks while you workout. This can make your workout a lot more enjoyable.
5) One-Touch Speed and Incline Controls
Instead of scrolling through your options, you can change your speed or incline level with the touch of a button. It's a little thing, but still very convenient.
6) 16 Built In Workouts
In addition to iFit Live, you also have 16 built in workouts. There are 10 workouts designed by a certified personal trainer designed to get you fast results. There are also 6 calorie-burning workouts designed to burn maximum calories.
Weaknesses:
The A2350 is still a starter treadmill and with very basic design and options. Runners or those looking for something a bit more solid may want to upgrade to a stronger model like the Nordictrack Commercial 1750 or even a Sole.
Also, if you don't have wireless internet in your home, you won't get the full use out of the iFit Live capability - which may or may not matter to you.
Overall Conclusion:
The NordicTrack A2350 treadmill gives you core basics of a good treadmill: decent motor, solid warranty, 12% incline and extra long treadbelt.
Plus you also extra features to make your workouts more enjoyable - like the iPod docking station, heart rate monitor and iFit Live Capability. Overall, a great value starter treadmill.
