Overall this is a good laptop. I installed Mint Linux on it and it runs superfast, boots up in 7 seconds. I can play videos and I dont have a loud fan turn on. I have two issues with it that others might not. One is that the keyboard makes an audible sound when typing, I want a keyboard that is completely silent. The other issue is that lid/screen hinge rotates so that it is below the bottom surface of the laptop. This makes an uncomfortable ridge that hurts my thighs when its on my lap. This means I have to use some kind of 'lap desk' to rest the laptop on. This is a problem with a lot of laptops made by many brands, it bothers me, it might not bother you. One thing I do like is that it is thin, light weight yet feels very stiff and strong.
