Consumer review (newegg.com)

Nice, portable laptop

 

This laptop is wonderful for the mobile user.

The fingerprint scanner is a little buggy, the cellular modem requires $$$ subscription, so I had to disable both.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Good for on the go, little small for around the house...

 

This little laptop is great for taking out on the road. With the 13.3 inch screen it is much more usable than the micro 12in screens on a lot of notebooks. The screen is bright enough but does feel a little "soft" and lacking in contrast. For around...

Small light and stylish, fast CPU, compatible with Linux, functional keyboard, easy to upgrade.

Fuzzy LCD screen, only 2 USB inputs, small for home use, useless software preloaded.
