It has an external aspect of quality, white lacquer on top, the more matte white interior (beautiful and nice), a gentle keypad, very handy for typing and a truly relaxing screen since it is non-reflective. I regret that the keypad is locked constantly because every new ignition of the appliance, think to press the release button.
In addition, the touch pad is not more effective than my old laptop. You can zoom in and out, which is very useful, but as the buttons (which act as mouse buttons) are exactly the same level, we tend to enlarge or reduce without even realizing it if do not put your fingers in the right place. A matter of habit, I guess.
Contrary to what I feared, the move to Windows 8 was done without problem (I had stayed in Vista). Finally, outside of the home page, called "Metro", the rest is no different ... well, you get used quickly enough.
I greatly appreciate the fact that the computer turns on in seconds, it's definitely a big plus for me. The sound is of a very decent quality (by my standards, of course) and image (especially the colors are deep and sharp!).
In conclusion, a good buy for me (at least for now), a device whose price is particularly advantageous, especially for a 15.6 inches.
