What's Hot

Solidly constructed, comfortable keyboard and touchpad, HDMI, one-touch back-up, versatile wireless adapter

What's Not

Control and Delete keys are not at the far corners of the keyboard, no 'sleep-and-charge' USB ports, no keyboard illumination

The Final Word

This is a solidly built unit that's a joy to use and has plenty of grunt for most applications. It also has versatile networking options, including the ability to connect to 5GHz 802.11n routers.
