Score 9.0/10

Good points:: This laptop is lightweight yet feels strong and sturdy. The keyboard has a quality feel unlike many currently on the high street. The screen is sharp and works well for movie streaming. The stylish black plastic case along with textured touch pad allows this model to stand out aesthetically. The processor speed is very good and automatic connection to Wi-Fi is fast. The card readers, HDMI port and 4 USB ports add to the already high-spec.
Bad points:: Windows 7 is the main downfall here, mainly due to the changes made to the operation of the task bar. Battery life could be better in comparison to other models on the market, however it is not bad giving around 2 hours with constant use. The touchpad buttons feel slightly flimsy, which is a shame when the rest of the system feels so solid. Audio speakers are adequate but not as good as other models on the high street. The manufacturer's software is not fantastic but can be easily removed if not required.
