Even better when upgraded!

I purchased this ultrabook a couple of days after it came out. Immediately I was impressed. Everything right out of the box is great, don't get me wrong, but a few upgrades made this one of the fastest laptops I have seen. I upgraded the HDD to the Samsung 840 Pro SSD 256 GB and added 4GB more of the Samsung DDR3 1600MHZ ram for a total of 8GB. (some sites claim the max memory is 4GB, this is NOT true).
With the SSD upgrade, not only is my boot time <9 sec, but it is absolutely SILENT! This is, in my opinion, one of the best laptop set-ups you can have, especially for the money.

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, stylish
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

First impression

I bought this laptop on its release date and have only run into a couple small problems with windows 8 (incompatible programs caused a couple crashes, but this is expected with new releases of windows). The touchscreen is fantastic. The hardware is responsive, fast and efficient. . It runs a little hot which may cause problems with hardware going forward but that is probably something that will be mitigated with more efficient driver interaction and hardware control. Overall I would rate a 9.5/10.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: excessive heat

Great features and design for the price
on November 24, 2012

For the price I paid, the computer is awesome. Thin, light, the touchscreen is capacitive, nice and bright too. Battery life is thankfully a good 6-7 hours. Fast, and Windows 8 works awesome on it. Keyboard's a dream to type on.
The camera isn't really that good of a quality but it's okay, and sometimes the screen wobbles if you tap it but that's to be expected from touchscreen laptops - hinges can't be too strong. All in all a great buy
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, fast, thin, battery life
Cons: camera
