What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the very light yet solid build, the excellent keyboard and a practical choice of ports. PCMag and XDA found battery life superb, but PCWorld wanted more, and also found performance underwhelming for the price; TechRadar found the 1920 × 1200 screen mediocre, and XDA notes the 13.3-inch screen can feel cramped and little can be upgraded.
