Customer Reviews
Pros:
1080p - Need I say more?
Fast Dual Core I7 processor
Thin - Almost as thin as MBP
Sleek design (complete ripoff of MBP)
Future proof - 2x USB 3.0
$800 cheaper than equivalent MBP
Cons:
No Quad Core option
A little loud
No Blu-Ray option (can't make BR drives thin enough to fit)
Overall:
If you are thinking about buying a MacBook Pro and dual booting to Windows, consider this instead. You can get a top of the line 15Z with a solid state HD for less than the entry point for a MBP.
After just two weeks of use I would have to say I am very pleased with this laptop. It's sleek, fast, lightweight and the screen is just about flawless. The touchpad as well as the backlit keyboard are responsive and easy to use. Battery life has been good and recharges fairly quickly. Wireless connection has been excellent. I was up and running within minutes of delivery. It was surprising that it came without any manual or even quickstart guide but turns out it wasn't needed. My only negative would be the anemic sound quality, but this isn't really a problem for me since I wasn't looking for a media machine as much as a good all-around work/personal computer. At this point I would definitely recommend this laptop.
