4/5

posted Dec-17-2011

The few 'evils'.

1) Charger more akin to a brick rather than a 21st century electronic gadget.
2) Awful battery life. Even with "Power Save" setting selected I could barely eke out 85 minutes of normal* activity (* just internet browser & torrent download application open).
3) Product arrived 1 week late.
4) The power button needs to be pushed rather hard to start up the machine.
5) Computer surface fingerprint magnet.

The 'goods'

Everything else is excellent, it's a powerful machine, well built, customer service very prompt.

*Don't make the same mistake I did in going for 1 large 'slower' 7200 rpm hard drive. Ensure you include a SSD in your order. It killed the Windows Experience Index - All scores spanned from 7.5 to 7.8 apart from HDD at 5.9, such advice should be present when picking hardware in ordering stage.
