German term or phrase: interessante Vorteile
Context:

"Die Wahl des richtigen PC sorgt oft für interessante Vorteile."

Somehow, the literal translation "interesting benefits" just doesn't seem right. What exactly does the German 'interessant' mean here? Attractive, or something along those lines?

notable benefits
Explanation:
Yes, 'notable' captures the sense of 'interessant' somewhat better in English here.

re:remarkable or surprising. I'd say no to both. 'Remarkable' is a good deal more intense than 'notable,' and is not really suggested by 'interessant' in this case. I don't really see anything suggesting a surprise here, do you?
