Did this notebook now since about 1 week, and may give my conclusion. The workmanship of the notebook is very good. Everything is stable and a quality image. The aluminum feels good and the plastic bottom robust. Also, the weight makes the notebook very mobile. According to Dell, the battery lasts up to 5 hours. My experience is much more positive. At medium display brightness and enabled WLAN he creates easily 7-8 hours with me. Depending on the application this can of course vary greatly. The speed is excellent. Nothing shakes and everything goes mad liquid. Had not expected despite only 4GB of RAM. While the built-in hard drive responds quickly, they have yet to replace an SSD. Dell is here a Windows 8 with CD, with which you can install the operating system without any problems. The device drivers can be downloaded from the homepage. Surprisingly, the laptop is very quiet. In normal operation, you might think that there were no fans available. In a benchmark test on high performance they are then to hear it, but worlds quieter than I'm used to it. The heat development surprised me. Despite 20minutes benchmark, the notebook had become lukewarm. The display is a matter of taste. Due to the matte surface is very suitable for outdoor use. Only the colors are not as colorful, but what personally do not bother me The only drawback, however, there already. I do not understand why Dell has omitted a HDMI output. The hardware this could easily afford to give space for it also. I for my purposes need HDMI as well as not giving me was VGA important (because most projectors and monitors VGA support). Did I still ordered to HDMI adapter VGA. Also via USB can operate HDMI, it should be really necessary. All in all, you get an unexpected sound and high-quality laptop for the price. From me a strong buy recommendation!
