What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the keyboard, pointing devices and everyday performance, with long endurance from the larger battery. Both criticise the screen's limited colour range. Laptop Mag finds the chassis durable; Notebookcheck reports fit and finish problems on its sample and finds the IPS screen too dim.
