Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I owned the previous model and the good thing is this came out during exchange period. i got this from a regular store and not amazon.
Clarification on specs: the hard drive is a hybrid drive meaning it has large cache and 4 gigabyte ssd built in. This should make it faster like an ssd. I haven't tested this yet so I cant say if it makes a difference.
First impressions:
pros: the build quality is superb!!! its is so solid with no give. the screen doesn't rock back and forth like many other 17 inch computers. It is cool and runs so smooth with minimal noise. The drive is still a bit noisy when it spins.
the built in video chip( within the processor) should improve battery life) not that this is an issue with a desktop replacement)
cons
-volume cant be raised or lowered by pressing 1 key. You have to press fn+ another key. annoying but not major.
- Vidoe camera not impressive at all. may 1 year old macbook pro isight is much much better.
- the finish feels great in your hands and doesn't attract fingerprints however i feel like it will collect stubborn dust over time unlike a metal finish.
overall this a great laptop very fast and responsive with minor issues but hey nothing is perfect!
Important update:
someone kindly posted in the discussion this link which i find concerning. there seems to be a flaw in the design of sandybridge chipset. I have not experienced any issues yet but i am considering sending it back. again actual laptop design is flawless but this seems like a serious issue with the intel chipset.
