Looks great. Solid build/construction. Performance is awesome, SSDs make the difference. Boot to the log in screen in sub ten second range. Fan almost never runs. The screen is bright and clear, can get glare and reflection from the glass. Touch screen is great, responsive and accurate. I was able to connect the laptop to a HD TV with an HDMI cable and both the video and sound were pushed across the HDMI cable.
Only con I have is that the disk image installed on the 256GB + 256GB RAID 0 setup, that I suspect to be the stock disc image, is sized for a 256GB disk resulting in about 256GB of unallocated space on the array. Thus the recovery partition is in the middle of the logical drive, sandwiched between the main partition and unallocated space. There is no problem if you want to create another partition but if you want that unallocated space to be part of the main partition you have to either remove the recovery partition or use some partition manager to swap the unallocated and recovery partitions. This is probably something that Eluktronics should have handled prior to shipping the laptop because many wont have the skills necessary to juggle the partitions to make one single system partition. Maybe it was just an oversight. Not a big deal for me but others are not likely to feel the same.BEST COMPUTER IVE EVER OWNED!!! This is a great way to begin learning Windows 8, and being a touchscreen, can access the program and navigate as it was created. since its a solid state drive, no more heating problems! quick response and elimination of the normal windows/ PC glitchy problems, i say spend the extra amount and get one!!!
