This laptop is the best I have ever had. It's sleek, stylish look go well with the feel of the keyboard and the laptop itself. The laptop does have a 'plastic' feel, which surprised me at first. However, after getting used to the feel of it (it was totally different to my last laptop) I have realized that it is in-fact better this way. The laptop doesn't scratch easily, is smooth and has an intelligent layout. The input ports (USB, HDMI, Ethernet etc) are spread out across the sides of the laptop so overheating is less likely to occur.

The laptop has a touchpad lock (which is good if you want to use a mouse, flicking the touchpad can be incredibly annoying!). The keyboard has a light touch to it, very easy to 'touch type' as they aren't heavy at all.

The performance will depend on the specification. My laptop was a mid-range model. It is now 13 months old and is still performing well. The larger screen model (~17") is of course bigger but for its size it is an incredibly light laptop (my 17" laptop is lighter than most of my friends 15.6").

The graphics are decent, not incredible but they will be adequate for most gamers.

On the whole, I would rate this laptop as 5 stars.
