Beware, this is for the tool only. You'll need to get a battery for it.
With that in mind, it's freakin' awesome. It's compact, lightweight, and very powerful with that in mind. Adjustable torque, adjustable trigger speed.
And one of the nicest parts -- once you disengage the trigger, you can turn the drill as if it was a manual screwdriver -- great for those fasteners where you want to manually control how much torque you apply to avoid stripping/fastening too tight.
I've had one of these since 2010, and it's one of my most-used tools. It's great in an IT datacenter/server environment where you have a lot of large machine screws in a server cabinet. I wouldn't use it inside a computer case for finer work. But machine screws don't have a lot of torque, so a battery lasted for weeks at a time.
The older design (same model number) had more metal in it, was slightly larger, and heavier. I also have this newer one, and the performance between the two are virtually the same. Remember, light duty work....you're not putting a 3" hole saw on this and going all day through hardwood.
Of course you can also do this with a drill that has an adjustable torque clutch, but you need a quick change hex adapter for that and they're bulkier.
However if you don't need the adjustable torque clutch feature or want something smaller and lighter for occasional use around the house, there are better and cheaper options.

This meets all of my requirements for an everyday driver:
Don't listen to everyone who says "oh it's not fuel, it's crap". I've used the fuel tools, and I can't really notice a big difference. I'm sure there is a difference, but I've never been in a situation this couldn't handle a job well and I had to say "shoot, I wish had had to fuel version".
With that said, if you get into the non-fuel ecosystem, know that you will kind of get cornered into the 12V non-fuel ecosystem, which I think is fine. (I also love the 12 non-fuel multi-tool)
On the con side, there is only one I can think of. It Doesn't have ANY bit holders. Every quality screwdriver I've ever had has always at least had one. So at least you can easily swap between straight or Philips, or have a place to put your main Philips bit while you have another bit inserted (hate looking for what I did with my main bit after completing a project). To make up for that I purchased this and it makes up for the deficiency just great:
