Pretty Decent

Pros: Great screen. Key spacing and positive throw make for a nice typing experience. Slim build is a huge plus (and the reason I bought this machine).

Cons: WiFi radio is single band and dual antenna instead of dual band and triple antenna. Build quality on the hinge covers is a little iffy.

Overall Review: So I purchased this machine to replace a Dell Precision M4700 in my road warrior kit. That's the baseline by which this rig is being judged. Day one leaves me both pleased and a tad disappointed. The slim build, light weight, and excellent display quality all live up to my expectations. The excellent keyboard was a very pleasant surprise. On the other hand, the WiFi radio is 2.4Ghz only and the hinge covers are a little loose, though the hinges do meet or exceed expectations for throw weight and length. I'll report back with battery life and performance after I've had a chance to put this beast through its paces.
