Helen, London Music, gaming or video fan

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Probably the best value around in a multi-touch tablet. Small and light-weight but way more performant than a netbook.
Bad points:: If you like to watch DVDs the lack of an integrated optical drive is slightly inconvenient, especially on the go. This laptop is great for streaming content, though.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Quick - very fast machine - easy to use, love the features on it. Looks fantastic. Can`t say enough good things about it!
Bad points:: Only one bad point. Really glossy/shiny screen, which means viewing in sunlight (or any bright light), isn`t that easy. Don`t regret buying it though!
