Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love this notebook. My last one was a 6.5 pound beast of a Dell that I carried around for four years and got 2 hour battery life if you were lucky. This is such a huge improvement.
PROS:
The battery life is excellent. Only if I am doing really demanding computational tasks do even think about plugging it in to the AC adapter.
The weight is fantastic. A lot of people I've showed it to can't believe how light this notebook is. My bookbag is so much lighter now. Even the AC adapter is way lighter than my Dell's.
The CPU power is more than sufficient as is the RAM at 4GB.
The trackpad is a good size. I don't think you could ever make a trackpad too big. It also has multi-touch and gesture support.
I was able to play L4D2 with this machine at medium settings. Much more than I was expecting given the graphics on here.
For the price, this is such a great notebook if you need something that is really light and still has a full blown mobile CPU.
The build quality is really good. Just a little bit of flex under the DVD drive. Everything else feels solid.
It has USB 3.0 and you can charge through USB even it the notebook isn't on. That's great for a gadget geek like me.
It also has HDMI, VGA and eSATA. So many ports!
CONS:
They just released the R830 series which offers faster CPU's and a docking port. If you have the money to spend, look at those instead. The i7 CPU R830 is actually rated at over 11 hours. They also have an SSD options too.
I am going from a 1920x1200 15.4" on my Dell to this 13.3" 1366x786. It's been kind of a shock for some of my programming related apps that require lots of screen real estate but haven't really noticed the difference for everyday home and office tasks. I am also going from matte to glare so that has lead to a couple new problem with reflections but nothing too bad.
Two finger scroll is not as smooth as I wish it could be but it's still very usable.
No bluetooth. Again, look at the R830 series.
Maybe this isn't the perfect notebook for you for whatever reason, but you really need to consider it if you are in the market for a new one.
