What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the keyboard, TrackPoint and strong office performance, with a useful selection of business ports. Laptop Mag criticises the quiet speakers and noisy video playback. Notebookcheck finds weak display contrast and colour coverage, occasional unintended touchpad gestures, and disappointing endurance on its discrete-graphics unit.
