Pros: 15.6" screen, DVD drive, 6 hr battery life, numeric keypad, price, lightweight, stylish, slim, backlit keyboard

Cons: faulty trackpad, no standard VGA port (mini VGA is non standard and adapter is not available), HDMI to VGA adapter not included

I really like the 15.6" screen, DVD drive and a numeric keypad, which are not common features in ultrabooks. These features are very important to me. Based on this, I would rate this 5/5. However, the unit I received had a faulty trackpad. It randomly jumped around on click gestures, moved and clicked at random, was sluggish, didn't register scroll gestures correctly. Tweaking settings and sensitivities did not help. Without a properly functioning trackpad, I found the laptop to be useless and had to return it. I gave it a score of 2/5 because even though it has all these awesome features, a fundamental component was faulty. I'd rather have a basic laptop that works than a fancy one that doesn't quite work. Other than the trackpad, I totally loved this laptop.

The unit I received had an ELAN trackpad. For comparison, my old Dell has a Synaptics trackpad, and I have never had a problem with it.

I owned a Gateway Windows Vista laptop, an IBM Thinkpad (running Vista, but downgraded to XP) and a Dell Inspiron Windows 7 machine before this computer. I also used an iMac at my old job.

This is without doubt the best machine I've ever owned.

I love the backlit keyboard. It is the first time I've owned a laptop with one and it's hard to believe I ever used one without it.

I love the number pad.

I love the novel interface on Windows 8.

I love the fast boot-time because of the solid state hard drive (SSD).

I'm giving this laptop 4 stars (and not 5) because of 2 things. First, I don't like the function keys, I wish the "special" commands where not the default button, I had to dive into the system BIOS to modify this and now I have to use the FN key to use functions like home, end and page up/down. The other reason I'm giving this laptop 4 stars is the lack of a removable battery. I got this computer for $550 and it is worth twice the price.

for watching movies, speakers are not very good at all. also the big thing, the courser just start jumping around the page by itself. as I am typing this right now, I have to bring the curser back so I can continue typing. I don't know if it is a glitch in the system but something seems to be seriously wrong.
