Quick review

The good
Looks good, great price, good performance
The bad
Attracts fingerprints
Verdict
A great machine for the price but the high-gloss finish, while looking great, will soon annoy the average user

Comments

  • I have one of these machines, and agree that the finish is rather annoying meaning copious cleaning of the keys. However, in everyday use apart from this it really is very good. Fast, stylish and exceptional value for money. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking at a laptop for about £500. Posted by Peter Covington , England
