General Part:
So in order advance time no doubt - the laptop is great, and really dibasic. It certainly did not feel right to keep cheap goods in hand.
What I like but not yet:
- Keyboard - I work casually with a Macbook, and there is no comparison. Yes, you also meet the Zenbook the keys, but its exquisite feeling does not want to set with me. School grade 2
- Stability - yes, even to myself, He is shaking. Just a millimeter, but IMHO totally inappropriate in this price range
- Monitor - looks great, and also provides the resolution that I need to work. Where, however, glaring light wells that go hard on the threshold of pain. I'll keep the device, but I am not happy with it in this regard.
The somewhat controversial points of anderne Reviews:
- Fan - got Bios 209 plan (Google is your friend), no problem under Linux, ensure neither too loud nor too often to.
- Hard Disk: hab fast ASA, like most.
General Conclusion:
The computer is great. But I would not have been angry when the 3 shortcomings from above were not present.

Operating as a developer computer (Linux):
I specially bought a device that does not comes with Optimus. This means that the Bilschirmdarstellung i7 / HD 4000 is ever easily have Ubuntu 4.12 with Compiz ner amount at the start, which goes smoothly absolutely. The installation went clean through (if you take it apart, that I had no idea until last week, as UEFI works, and have rumgefummelt correspondingly long in the BIOS).
Currently lend a hand you have to:
- The touch pad, which could only times no Multi-Gestures
- At the FN Keys since now all go except Brightness
Everything else goes - Respect for as current hardware (!). Here [...] You can read much.
The monitor is great, the resolution in this format is really great. Surely you can work with it well, and Eclipse can be a lot of views at once. BUT, remember: if you have for example a desk combo with more external monitors, then you will be hard pressed to the small screen (with the huge resolution) somehow ergonomically place beside large screens (like resolution, twice the size). Since it's almost better to just two external monitors (and no laptop screen) to use. Three screens do not go by the way, I read somewhere.
The battery lasts so far within the framework of 3-4 hours, I (the enabled for power management options) made indeed NEN relatively recent kernel, but no optimization. There is certainly something rauszuholen, but the basic value before tip.
2xUSB is of course a little, but I knew in advance that does not lead to the devaluation. The same applies to 4GB main memory, which is for example with nem virtualized Windows certainly not too much.
Conclusion as development machine:
I would have liked a better keyboard. And let's see how well I get along with the 4 GB. But all in all a great part, with which I am very satisfied.
