good looking and solid built, decent keyboard and trackpad, plenty of ports, solid hardware, runs cool and quiet, alright battery life

poor screen on this configuration, the series priced high at launch, not that easy to upgrade

Although there’s nothing majorly wrong with this laptop, I do find it somewhat tough to recommend right now, at launch, because it is rather expensive, especially when looking at its competition.

Sleek design, easy to transition between tablet and laptop, sizable hard drive and RAM

Jittery, inaccurate touch screen, screen gets too dirty too quickly, terrible user experience

great screen quality

has died on my twice in the 7 months I have had it and have had to send it in twice to get repaired. Trying to get a different computer now and get my money back i spent on this piece of junk.

-Sleek design and overall solid build quality. -Has an i3 instead of a Celeron or Pentium. -6GB of RAM instead of the usual 4GB. -Excellent price point for what you get. I paid $389 when it was on sale which is much less than any other comparable...

I've bought about 8 of these for different customers through Newegg and other websites, but never the 6GB RAM version. All 8 of them are still working and do well with most tasks. I personally use the 4GB RAM version for web development and Photoshop.

A couple of differences with this model were the keyboard being a little "stiffer" and the touchpad area being very difficult to properly click.

This 2-in-1 laptop is quick and easy to use, and so far doesn't seem to have the connectivity issues I've experienced with other laptops. My requirements for a computer are pretty minimal- I pretty much just need something that connects to the...

The screen feels a little heavy; sometimes it almost feels like the laptop would tip over if the screen was extended past a certain point. That's a pretty minor gripe, though, and it could be how I'm holding it
