Great for architects

I bought this laptop after reading thousands of reviews online, walked into a best buy store, just to check out the size and the weight, and was told they have just one of these left in stock in the store at the time. It was also on a $100 something discount at the time.
My immediate response was, I'll take it.
And I'm very glad I did. This is the first laptop I've ever bought with my own money for myself, and I'm still terrified I'll jinx it. But its a beautiful machine.
Pros:
SO light! Compared to other laptops with the same specs.
Very fast, amazing start up time
I play don't starve together a lot, works great on this.
I use softwares like photoshop and illustrator and they work great, screen colours are very crisp too. I also use 3d softwares (sketchup and Rhino, and autocad) but haven't installed them in this machine yet.
I like that the keyboard brightness can be adjusted
Doesn't make noise, doesn't heat up too much.
Great design, and I care a LOT about design.

Cons:
Battery life isn't great, I think 3 hours with constant use, but i guess thats the price you pay for a heavy machine thats also lightweight.
Volume feels too low, dont know if its the same for all or a driver issue in mine.
Couldnt adjust screen brightness after a windows update, had to revert back. (would suggest not updating)
Cannot reverse the fn key function. My old hp envy has an option in the bios that allows me to reverse the fn key, so i dont have to hold it down every time i want to adjust volume/brightness. This point is the only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5.

But overall I'm very very happy with it! So glad I got it.
Mobile Submission: False
I would recommend this to a friend!
