The price / performance ratio is very good and is hard to beat. Sure, there are some laptop which also Intel Core 5, have over 2 Ghz and a lot of RAM. But what interested me most was the screen. And this is a stunner. That my old notebook in comparison a very dark screen had (on the brightest stage), is I only noticed with this notebook. So if a bright screen with vivid colors want is right here.
The only truly stronger criticism is the keyboard. These are but by very strong when you press the keys. At first it was very strange, but you get used to it very quickly.
Another point of criticism, for which the notebook can really nothing, is Windows 8. It's a major change to get along with it. In the beginning it was a bit slow, which made me even pessimistic. But for some updates were probably responsible, because after a while the notebook was always faster. So everything has dissolved into thin air.
For those who, like me, 8 do not get along with Windows, there are suitable solutions. Thus, there are free programs that make the old surface again. I opted for the "Classic Shell". But there are still many more that have the same function. With this I put the Windows 7 interface restores (especially the start menu I have sorely missed). With the speed of Windows 8 and the ease of use of Windows 7, can finally start working.
Old games are not a problem for the notebook, for newer the IntelHD4000 but is not designed. For normal surfing, work and some older games, it is not a problem. The notebook is also pleasantly quiet and surfing one perceives minimal noise of the fan.
