Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very chic, portable AND powerful. A great one for the ladies, but my male friends were eyeing it up too! I'm soon to be a student again so needed an all-round reliable computer that I can also take into lectures to make notes. I'm not into gaming though so have no idea whether it is good in that respect.
Bad points:: Not found any yet..!
