Pro:
* Price
* 500GB memory
* USB 3.0
* Thin stylish design
* Beautiful corrugated surface, piano lacquer I do not like.
* Faster CPU. The Pentium 980 is the fastest processor with 35W Tdp that can be found in this price range
* Heat emission is very low. The fan goes to rare and is relatively quiet, although he revs up times (but currently in winter).
* Stereo speakers and really loud (the bass we have time outside before). Underneath they are slightly offset to be seen.
Normal
* 4GB of RAM, unfortunately only in a slot, but who needs more
* Display, not anti-reflective. The viewing angle is the same as in other notebooks, but unfortunately I have (so far) noticed that the color yellow, compared to other displays, wrong (pale) is displayed.
* Battery life is good framework, but I use ja ne SSD.
Con:
* The first thing is the Tochpad ..... man man man, constantly bouncing the arrow anywhere because I am using the heel of your hand on it gets on my nerves. Since no tip will help detect, because if you hold a moment and then it depends, to write after that somewhere else. With half the area I would still be happy. And then there's also the problem that the mouse buttons are integrated, that is the whole area of the TP is the left button. If you thanks with a little more pressure on what specific clicks and the position of the pointer from slipping while. And the area of the buttons is also Tochfähig ........ So if I want to use the key with one finger and with the other pointer, will not do, because I have 2 fingers on the Tochpad (and thus it recognizes as zoom or nothing). However, the right button it recognizes with satisfaction.
* 2 USB inputs are definitely for the present time too little. (Both links)
* Bottom laptop just to get to the hard drive, the wireless card and the Ram to it, everything else comes only when the whole shell removed, impossible for a layman.
Conclusion: These will speed values I'm actually fully satisfied, definitely cheaper and more practical as a 10 tablet. The Tochpad went wiedermal while this letter on my nerves, but just hope you get used to it yet. Why I chose this laptop is actually the design and the processor. And throughout, you can now not really complain.
After a long use: ......
-> The Tochpad is still annoying and quite cumbersome in use if you want to get decent tables edit files. Each Right-click the pointer from slipping.
In addition, the Tochpad is too large. In Windows, the driver has a mechanism to detect whether one is writing, but in Linux this is just a standard driver. This is not bad, but I'm still with the palm of your hand someday when writing on pad and zack the arrow is somewhere else (there also writes on).
So I would advise anyone who wants their laptop in Linux used without additional mouse, ensures that the Tochpad is not too large.
-> With the volume and the heat development of the laptop I'm super satisfied, two is satisfactory. In passive use virtually absent
-> In Linux Mint I had that when I use a USB 3.0 stick my USB mouse began to hack the problem. But need not be the norm.
The Tochpad'd time away from the purchase. But my Logitech does his services.
Addendum (1.5 years later):
I would (if the price ~ 300) also buy it today. The processor (B980) is the speed (in the price range) rather Ok, it is topped only by the Pentium 2020M.
To boot via USB I have now also strapped: the USB media must be infected, then it also appears in the boot options. With the various Linux distributions, I also had no problems. On the whole, super satisfied.
