The backlight always brings a +, and this one is unusual because of its red color. It is very pleasant to use, the keyboard responds well, but it takes time to adapt: it is a bit "soft" when you tap the keys, the keyboard is felt to sink slightly in the middle, and fixing keys to the backlight driving this combined effect can cause errors strikes early.
The touchscreen meanwhile works well, it is very responsive and is very significant on Windows 8! All I can lament over the screen is a little too "white" color, colors somewhat "degraded" or nuanced according to location e the screen depending on the angle at which you look at it (I have more bad luck to accommodate a semi dead pixels: it only appears on certain colors because one of the three sub-pixels, or two, on strike -I tried several techniques Rescue operation has no worries but watches all screens of this type, so I can not see it as failure of the computer. This pixel being the only one in this case, it is not really annoying) .
The weight of this machine is high for a computer of this size (15.6 pc "are th General etween 2.1 and 2.5Kg, mostly to 2.3Kg) but my other computer weighs 2.9Kg for 14" so I feel the difference. It is a practical computer for users "nomads" who are not too full.
The charging time of the battery is correct (it is significantly lower than that of m14xr2 but remains about average or better).
As for performance, the AMD processor and graphics management will not allow you to run your video games in the best conditions (for example, World of Warcraft, the game recommends me the quality "Good", but runs between 15 and 30 -Average SPF 20 FPS- so I prefer to play as "low". It is the same in other games.) Surprisingly, Minecraft runs pretty well now, with not too hungry options. League of Legends is between 20 and 45 FPS in maximum quality (average of 30 FPS). Starting the PC can be quite long by cons, as its extinction. The TB of storage is very useful (I have a lot of music, a lot of videos as well).
Finally, I discuss the negative (they are not necessarily related to this general or model):
On the grid speakers, there felt like a brand, a trait dark blue / black. This does not interfere with the operation but a little spot design.
When I open the computer after closing it for standby, leaving the Windows Media Player, it happens that crash computer alarm clock or little after the sound stops, the screen goes black and it is no longer possible to force the remaining supported off the ON / OFF button. This worries arriving only in certain situations, it is not really annoying: just avoid closing the hood with windows media player in "Power Save".
During the reception, the screen was a little sore embedded in the hood, I had to support some ensroits to clip it properly at the edges.
To sum up:
-design beautiful and different, but can seem brittle
-Start a little long
-a subwoofer and sound signed "Beats Audio" that make the difference equalized WHEN WELL
-a nice office and multimedia use
-not powerful enough to "enjoy" video games (extra can be used)
-1 TB of storage: How interesting!
-a good pc, practical with its backlit keyboard, touch screen and format
