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.
Whatever the material is on thecoutside is not of good quality. My labtop is stained and ruined on the outside from putting a simple wet tissue for a mere minute. If your looking for a metal or handware labtop, this isn't your option.
