This laptop is perfect for people on the go, it feels thin, light, durable and looks sexy.
The keyboard feels great and the 'multi touch touch pad' is something you don't want to do without.
The multitouch makes one hand use a lot more comfortable, one finger normal use, two fingers for scrolling (up/down left/right) and three for right click, when browsing a two finger tap will open a page in a new tab.
The LED screen looks fantastic, nice resolution for a small notebook with great colour and an instant bright screen(no warm up needed) together with the low voltage processor, low voltage DDR3 and a switchable GPU this notebook will give you hours of battery life. I easily get 8 hours with constant use, watching movies and photo editing. If the GPU was switched off and you only used office applications such as Word I do believe you would get over 10 hours of battery life, which in the notebook range is almost unheard of. (I believe I am only running on a single 4cell battery, 8cell batteries are available)
The performance is fantastic, because this is running on a 64bit platform 4gb of DDR3 ram is fully utilized, the GPU runs DirectX 10.1 which is awesome for gaming! I mainly use Photoshop and Raw photo editing, this is a complete breeze for this laptop and it outperforms my AMD dual core pc(not that that says much)
The only game I have installed at the moment is "Fallout 3" and this little thing runs that perfectly on medium graphics (This was just the default setting, no benchmarking or tweaking has been attempted yet)
Over all this laptop is perfect for my use, which is around the home, out on photography trips and university use. Due to its extreme Battery life I never need to take the charger around, and for when I need it the performance is there for Gaming, editing and 3D design software. I bought this baby the first time I saw it in the shops (which was the first day it was out in Australia) and I think if you have got your eye on it don't hesitate to purchase, you will not regret it!
