Bradley Kieser, Carlisle, Cumbria, Often on the move

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Fantastic for on the move. As small as can be while still being usable. Good crisp screen and very stable operating system. The solid state hard drive is one of the best features as hard discs are one of the first to go when a laptop has had a knock or a bump. Travelling with a laptop maximises that risk. Also, hard drives and airport security are not best of friends. Solid state disc doesn't have that problem.
Bad points:: There is nothing that I can say that's bad about this system.
