This laptop is extremely lightweight and boots up so amazingly fast.
I love the backlit keyboard and I love that I don't have to bang on it to get my letters to go. I love the fast processor and that I really have no issues doing all the things I generally spend my day doing (nothing too intensive...haven't tried intense gaming on this) The screen is matted instead of shiny, which I am a fan of.
But as another person mentioned....the battery life...yikes. I've had this for about a year now...
I can probably go...3-4 hours on battery. But heaven help me if I am trying to google hangout...cuz that zaps it even faster.
It does tend to overheat pretty quickly considering the body is totally metal. So be careful with that. If you're going to stick it into a case...I'd actually shut it down (the boot up time is so fast, that really...it's not worth "hibernating it") I've had it before where I thought it went to sleep...but it was still going and was burning to the touch by the time I realized and yanked it out of my case.
The trackpad is awful and has started to develop...discolorations where I use it the most, so I've switched over to a mouse.
There's a USB 2.0 (left side)and a USB 3.0(right side)...which is ok considering how insanely thin this is. I would say...it definitely rivals Macbook air in thinness.
It does come with an adapter for LAN use which is nice...and some reviews on other sites mentioned issues with wi-fi...but I actually have not experienced any.
The headphone jack and microphone jack are one on the same, so you don't get two 35mm for each. Not a major deal for me since there's a built in mic...
If you can get this for pretty cheap...it's a good supplemental computer, but just know that there are drawbacks.Good performance, Love the screen, color and built. downside: touch pad, battery and only two USB ports very close to headphones and power cord.
