Maybe I'm spoiled by my Mac trackpads, but I've yet to find a PC trackpad that doesn't miss scroll swipes or not accidentally drag something that I only meant to select. The keyboard has a good feel. There's a left mouse click key right by the ESC- nice to have, but easy to hit unintentionally. Overall compact size is good for travel and messy desks.

What's great about it: It works
What's not so great: Nothing
Wasted money on a third party brand that didn't work all the time (error message and didn't charge). So I'm playing it safe and sticking with Apple.

What's great about it: decent cable
What's not so great: Doesn't stay connected
I bought this for my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but if you even slightly move the cable it loses connection. I hear this is a common issue with this type of connector, so I'll try another cable to make sure.

What's great about it: light, comfortable to use, great screen
What's not so great: resolution is too high, software needs to catch up
Great laptop- good keyboard, bright screen, great sound. It does fold over into a tablet, but I've yet to find a practical use for that yet. Especially with the keyboard exposed on the bottom.
The resolution is insanely high. You can set windows to adjust the text size, but many applications don't work well with that and you either get text that is too small to read (eg: all Adobe products) or so big it runs outside the window. In time this will get better. I can't wait.
I end up using the trackpad and touchscreen equally. Depends on what I'm doing. Backlit keyboard is a plus.
It does come with some pre-installed apps. For instance, McAfee, which eventually expires and never stops reminding you that it's about to expire.
This product is... Good sound quality, Perfect for Business

I have an older C2Duo PC that I want to keep alive a little longer. The drive was getting full and probably not going to run much longer. This just gave the PC a new lease on life.

I needed a touch screen to work on interactive applications. This does the job just fine. The control buttons are not easy to tell apart when sitting in front. You have to peak around to see them.

i7 4500U or 4510U??
In "Overview", in "Product Features", they've put that it's core i7 4510u. However, they've put in "Specifications" it's 1.8 ghz with 3MB cache just like the core i7 4500u instead of 2ghz that comes with the core i7 4510u. (check http://ark.intel.com/compare/81015,75460 )
So which one of the 2 cores comes with this laptop??
So which one of the 2 cores comes with this laptop??
Mine came with an i7-4500 @ 1.8Ghz. I bet 4510 is a typo.
