I searched in vain for a small computer for my trips because I had to replace my netbook. As I do not like the touch screen or the shelves, I opted for this model. It is very beautiful and its performance is amazing, we must of course accustomed to Windows 8 may seem early irritating. Only one thing: I highly recommend uninstalling McAfee antivirus which slowed considerably youtube videos etc; and replace it with another antivirus (in my case avira free).
