I bought this about a couple of months back. At that time, i did not have any reviews on the basis of which i could zero down on my choice. Yet I chose this laptop as it catered to my needs and suited my budget. My experiences so far: 1. I love the look, Its elegant and it looks far more better than the pics you see on the web 2. The battery back up is good I have got backup of more than 4.5 hours w/o the battery dying out. 3. Its not that heavy and quite easy on your back. 4. The keys are good and typing s hassle free. 5.The speakers are also good. 6. I feel the screen should have been a bit more formidable. I always have this uncanny feeling that in the long run the hinges will loosen up. 7. An additional USB port would have been helpful. 8.The laptop does not get heated up much. So the heat sink seems to be working fine.(Although I have not used it much for gaming) Two months with this laptop and my experiences have been quite pleasant.
