Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Midrange GPU
  • It's very expensive, while some parts still feel cheap, and higher-end boutique laptops beat it on performance
  • No Blu-ray, No 1080p resolution, Some games choke on highest settings
  • Mild speaker hiss, Slightly outgunned by other quad and hex-core systems
  • Bulky chassis; light on ports; disappointing battery life
  • Not enough ports, Review model had faulty LED backlight
  • No Blu-ray, No 1080p HD resolution, Battery life leaves something to be desired, Speakers are buzzy
