Good: The specs are excllent, play all modern games very VERY well for a 14" <1500 dollar laptop.
Bad: Build quality, i feel like I bought a Acer for 199 with the quality i've come across.
Comment: I have tired two of these unit before pulling the trigger on returning it, I have found the following issues...
CONS
-Had one unit with a broken/ dead right speaker, very small issue that should of never occured; literally.
Heres the big issue, EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) this is literlly the most unacceptable product I have come across with this.
What EMI does on this laptop is the following, USB devices crosstalk with the audio port, this means your headphones have a constant hiss, but also you can hear the sound of the hard drive inside the headphones.
Basically, the USB ports when in use 'talk' to the audio ports, and make the sound completely unseable.
Ive had this issue with TWO units, and thats enough to know its an engineering issue. Many others on laptopreview have this issue aswel.
AVOID intill FIXED.

Good: cheap, fair performance, good battery life
Bad: heavy, poor build quality, ugly, glossy screen
Comment: I owned this laptop, then returned it because the battery failed, and got my money back. I'm actually quite glad about that! Despite a part aluminium chasis the build quality is poor. there is keyboard flex and the touchpad and buttons are horrible. The laptop is also quite ugly once you see it in the flesh. Dont get me wrong its an ok laptop. Battery life is good and specs are good but ultimately it falls short of the top quality laptop i was looking for. i suppose u get what you pay for with this laptop
