Good: decent battery life

Bad: trackpad doesnt work if holding 2 keys (awful for games), screen, expensive, keyboard misses strokes, very slow.

Comment: decent battery life however.... as i said its very expensive and they have used incredibly cheap components, the trackpad is uncomfortable and doesnt work if you are holding 2 keys down, the keyboard misses strokes making it impossible to type anything without loads of spell checking and one of my screen hinges have broken and so when i open and close the screen it splits it and i have to spend 10 minutes trying to get it to go roughly back into place. It says it is an HD screen but if im honest it sucks. It overeats all the time and keeps freezing even when i just have 1 or 2 windows open. I really dont recommend this laptop. (I spent 5 minutes correcting missed keystrokes)

Good: decent battery life

Bad: really slow laggy, cant even handle minecraft ! when your playing a small game if you hold down 2 letters you cant use the trackpad for some reason, keyboard gets dirty because of the huge gap, fan is constantly going even though firefox is the only thing open, burns my leg after 10 minutes of it being turned on because it gets so hot.

Comment: wouldnt recommend especially with the huge price tag.

Good: long battery life, number pad included, responsive touch-pad

Bad: keypad is slightly more to the left than usual, did not like the camera quality, speakers quite weak.

Comment: the issue that's most annoying to me is the fact that the keypad is slightly to the left than usual which means that initially, at least, you often end up mistyping. screen quality is lower than normal but the battery life is great, it even gives you some indication as to how much longer you might need to wait before charging again. the laptop is very quiet and quite light making it portable. the design is not so great, I would've appreciated some colour on the inside but I do like the sleek design of the cover.
