A laptop with incredible promise but fatal flaws

Too bad, this could have been a incredible machine... but I can see where it will soon be completely worthless to me. Note that if you never move your machine around much, and only use WIFi then my issues may not be such a big deal to you. I am a network tech and a VERY experienced user of many machines for many years. I was very excited to get this, but early on could see two really huge issues that have now come true after less than one year. The WiFi is very bad due to the internal antenna design. It is not the radio, or the drivers, but the antenna. This can be fixed a number of ways, I just use a USB WiFI adaptor when I need it. The REAL problems are that both the power jack and the wired network adaptor are of incredible poor design. After a few months of normal use, no abuse, they both fall out very easily, even if all you do is gently move the machine. Soon I can see where neither one will work at all. The desing of these is two items is so bad that I can see where soon it will ruin the entire machine. So bad to see such minor things bring down a otherwise beautiful machine. But without power or (at least for my work) wired Ethernet I cannot use it.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, power jack, wired ethernet jack, internal wireless antenna, lack of accesories included
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As you can see on this product review page, you can only find one review with 1 star rating.
There obviously is a reason for it.
I've had this Series9 for 8 months and it always remind me that I made good decision buying this everytime I use it for my work & study.

It is ultralight and thin which allows you to carry it anywhere like a tablet pc and it's got Intel i5 processor with SSD which loads up everything less than 10 sec.
(Wut more do you expect from a laptop?)

Since I am in the position where I have to give a 'review', I will make one comment on this laptop.
It is the 'Speakers'. This Series 9's speakers are kinda weak and hard to really hear musics when you are in loud environment.
However, it did not stop me giving it 5 stars since you never really blast your music out loud in the public place - you end up using ear-phones or head phones.

The bottom line is that.. it does serve your need as an ultrabook in every aspect - in terms of mobility and also functionality, you will never regret.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speakers

Performance does not match its good looks

WI-FI only works during best of conditions which leaves you using that weird dongle thing for getting on the internet. I think the problem is the antenna is shielded by the fancy aluminum case. The fast start feature works for a short while until Windows gets to buggy to use. You will need to do a full shutdown and start for this machine to work right. Dont by this product unless you're getting a deep discount...there's better choices if you are paying top dollar.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor wifi, fast start not so fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
