I have a laptop now for over a month and am very happy with it. It is a very noble, stable and sleek device. My few criticisms relate to the display, which has for this price range typically very low resolution of 1366 * 768. It is also to be able to work out in the sun too dark to it. After all, it but does not reflect what is in the darkness is important especially when combined with the usefully illuminated keyboard. The large touchpad has no extra keys and also supports multi-finger gestures. My version with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD provides just there Aufrüstpotential where it can be "easily" upgraded - ie installation of up to 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. On the software side, I am a little surprised, because Windows 8 is depicted very negatively in the media, but in everyday life works like butter. Certainly the Modern UI and the "old" Windows do not fit together 7 desktop world so pretty, but a home screen with useful information, an account that is synchronized everywhere, and a context-sensitive search, which can be used from any application, are already the correct approach. With Windows 8.1 can also be obtained for a while the most recent Windows, which goes beyond a service pack ... Nevertheless, I have Ubuntu installed in parallel, which can be deleted thanks UEFI now much cleaner again. Fortunately, work the F1-12 keys like on the label (lighting, volume, ...) and are not bent by a Windows driver. The driver nevertheless subject but prepared on a separate partition. Overall, the long search was worth it for a laptop in this price range for me. Strong buy recommendation!
