Reviewers Didn't Like

  • The combined hybrid body is awkwardly top-heavy
  • The touch pad isn't sensitive enough for easy all-day use
  • Middling media performance
  • A handful of other premium ultrabooks offer better value
  • The extra "control zone" spaces on the touch pad don't feel like a fully realized concept
  • Bottom runs a bit warm
