Very light wieght and easy to travel with.
What's great about it: All items needed for doing multiple jobs are there. What's not so great: Can be jumpy on certain screens. This computer does very well for the traveler. It is light wieght and easy to deal with. It has all the extra drives and ports you would need. The built in web camera works well for calls to home. It will sometimes get a little stuck when contected to internet services in other countries but still does the job. It also has a tendency to scratch easy. Overall it is a ...

BSOD Issue SOLVED - Great Notebook!
What's great about it: Screen, sound, WiFi, Processor, Expandability, Smoothe Keyboard What's not so great: Nothing that I can find so far - Should have Back-lit Keyboard I have followed the reviews of this item for many weeks. I tried one in the store when they first came out, and it immediately got a 'blue screen'. The staff replaced it, and after it booted, same thing. So I passed on it. Went home, did some research, and decided that it had to be either the BIOS or the software that control...

A couple of cons, but lots of pros
What's great about it: Highly portable, large hard drive, CD drive, good battery What's not so great: A little slow, loud mouse buttons I do notice the lagging speed, most often when I'm running multiple programs. Often one (like Firefox) will freeze up for a minute while another (like Microsoft Office) is loading. But that seems to be more a Windows 7 problem because I've seen it happen on other computers, too. It does sometimes make a weird sound (like a record scratching) when it slows down...

Highly portable and capable laptop
What's great about it: Matte screen makes it easier to work longer without hurting eyes; Two finger scroll gesture works fine in Ubuntu What's not so great: Ethernet port makes it hard to pull wire out; No SSD option; Keyboard not backlit I'm replacing my 13 inch Macbook Pro with this. The mac was fine and well-built, but I prefer Linux to OSX, and Linux doesn't install well on Macs. I've read some bad reviews for this laptop on this site, and others, and I shopped around a lot before buying i...

Good, not great
What's great about it: Thin form, DVD Drive, Laptop you can open to upgrade stuff What's not so great: Slow, flimsy build quality I have used it for the last two months. Its a really good laptop. But not a great one. Here is why: The good stuff:1. Thin form. Not ultrabook light. But pretty light.2. Has a DVD drive as against an Ultrabook. Yaay i get to chuck my old laptop.3. Unlike Ultrabooks, you can open the back of the laptop to upgrade stuff. So that makes me feel in cont...

Fantastic
What's great about it: Lightweight, Solid Structure, Adequate Speed, Excellent Trackpad Despite a couple of negative reviews of this item, I have had a hec of a good time with it these past 24 hours. I have given it a good go with installing programs and browsing the web. I am happy with everything regarding this system (ex. trackpad, speed, speakers, keyboard). It is also a plus that the RAM can be expanded, or so I believe I have read. The weight is light and the structure feels sturdy. The ...

A superb laptop with few compromises
What's great about it: light weight, matte screen, light touch keys, expess cache What's not so great: case gets warm underneath, low voltage processor is slow I replaced a Toshiba R835 with this. The R835 is lighter but only has a 13.3" screen. The larger screen results in much more screen real estate and larger fonts. The matte screen is awesome! I can work in front of an open window with almost no reflection and it's bright enough for almost anything but direct sunlight on it. The expr...

Very frustrating. Don't buy
What's great about it: Optical Drive What's not so great: Completetely Unreliable I own this Ultrabook for about 5 days and it has been an absolute nightmare. It was a birthday gift to myself and I regret it. I liked this because of the Solid State Drive combined with a SATA and the optical drive but it has not been succeeding at the simplest tasks, such as... going online! I have 3 laptops on my wireless - all of them working flawlessly - this one, drops out after 10 or 15min and nothing can ...

I must admit to being Jaded. I'm a MacBook Pro...
What's great about it: The size and speed are very good. What's not so great: This unit was erratic at times. I was thrilled with the size and light weight of this computer. The unit is fast, and very well done--in the abilities it does possess. I am, however, jaded; being a long time Mac user, and working with a MacBook Pro, does make it nearly impossible to assess any other computer, especially laptops. Having said this, I did think this a very nice way to re-enter the PC world. I opted to u...

The best laptop out there...absolutely love it.
What's great about it: Light, sleek, dvd drive, SILENT, cool, boots fast, sharp and bright screen What's not so great: have to update drivers right away, but once done, it's fine. I never write reviews, but I just had to...this is by far the best laptop out there if what you care about is it being LIGHT and THIN with a dvd drive, if you hate how hot laptops get and how irritating the fan noise is, if you hate how long it takes for a pc to boot up, if you want the battery to last 5 hours, and i...
