What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the vivid OLED, speakers, slim design and useful productivity features, with dependable battery life. TechAdvisor finds performance smooth even with heavier tasks; Tom's Guide reports stuttering under intensive multitasking and demanding games, and puts more emphasis on Android's limited tablet app support. Both see it as well suited to media and light work.
