  • Clean exterior design, Solid fit and finish, Backlit keyboard is standard, Decent battery life

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Dull, low-resolution screen, Below-average battery life, Thick bezel interferes with touch gestures, Grainy camera
  • Low-resolution display, Keyboard and touch pad are just OK, Heavy at 4.8 pounds
