Comments

I love so many things about this laptop - the design, the colour (who needs a bright silver glossy keyboard of HP or the antislip surface of Sony) The laptop is so tastefully designed you want to cuddle it each time you hold it. It is powerful. I did not hear the fan noise mentioned in one of the online reviews. I love the fingerprint reader. The keyboard is one of the best., 2nd only to IBM/Lenovo. The only things I don't like so much are : the touchpad - after being spoilt with my IBM T/pad R50 supreme I was always going to struggle with another touchpad. The other thing that could be better is the screen. But lets be honest, the slimness of the laptop was always going to compromise the viewing angle of the screen. You can't have it both ways.

I would not swap it for another laptop. Posted by okonson, UK
