What's Hot

Stylish, comfortable to use, very good performance for office applications and media encoding, very light, ships with a second, larger battery, optical drive

What's Not

Screen had a grainy look to it and creaked a little when we moved it, lacks 802.11 draft-n and Gigabit networking, batteries were hard to remove

The Final Word

It looks great and has fast specifications for an ultraportable laptop. It's a good thing it comes with a second, larger battery though, because its small battery produced a very low run-time in our tests. Nevertheless, if it's a lightweight powerhouse that you want, this one is ideal.
