At this price, this machine is a steal. It has the capability of a full-fledged computer and the convenience of an extremely portable laptop. At just over 5 lbs. it's certainly heavier than a tablet, a Macbook Air or an ultrabook, but then again it has all the advantages of a "real" computer. Responsiveness is outstanding since Windows 7 is a great OS, certainly when compared to Vista. Even compared to Apple's OS X, Windows 7 performs quite well, although it is of course much more "labor intensive", which is another way of saying that it's not quite as user friendly. On the plus side, it provides what is possibly the most widely used software platform in the world. All in all you can't go wrong with this device if you are looking for something that provides heavy lifting computing power as compared to a tablet or even an ultrabook.

Before choosing this laptop I researched the other options in amazon and other websites and I believe this one has the best value for the price.

A few things to note on it's favor:

- Did not come dead on arrival (DOA).
- Windows Installation was fast.
- Can run entertainment apps / casual and social gaming perfectly.
- I love the idea of being able to use different covers (I have not tried it yet).
- The trackpad's surface is one of the best I have used so far.
- The battery holds it's charge as described and intended.
- The internal speakers have great power, enough to watch a video in a medium-size living room without plugging other speakers.
- Wireless adapter is pretty strong, it can list-down wireless points that my desktop adapter can't.

Some downsides:

- Comes with the already-known Bloatware, simply uninstall all those pesky useless programs/games/antivirus.
- After modifying the mouse / trackpad settings I got a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) STOP Error: 0x000009f - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (This problem occurs because of a race condition between two bus resets.). However, after I updated Windows 7 everything seems to be in order now.
- It's glossy, expect a lot of fingerprints on it.
- Multi-gesture trackpad feature doesn't work 100%, it seems not to be so accurate.
- The Trackpad can get warm when running process-extensive software or features but not to a point it is uncomfortable.

I have yet to find anything that ruins my experience, reason why I scored the laptop a 5. I will update this review in case it's necessary and let you know.

Bought one of these a few weeks ago to use for a sports club I administer. Needed a simple machine to do basic tasks- e-mail, web browsing, word processor....and to run a sports meet software. Great machine for these basis tasks. Price point is super, cheaper than many tablets or even in some cases a cell phone, and much more capable. Tested WiFi in an area where most cell phones and computers have trouble with weak signal, and this works great. Runs cool, battery life even with the basic battery is good, and weight is light enough to make it easily used on a...laptop. HDMI output is great, I hooked this up to my projector with no issues. Connectivity options for USB, HDMI, eSATA great for this price range. Overall this is a great price on a premium brand laptop with super solid features.
