Our users, 3 of are all delighted with the performance of this excellent machine. fast, quiet and well constructed.

It is a very slick computer with enough power to do data analysis.

I have one of these laptops at work. 16 and a half hours is a complete fabrication. Starting from 93% battery, I set Windows to Best Battery Life, turned the screen brightness down to the minimum (almost impossible to see) and even turned off the backlit keyboard.

This machine has a fully flexible hinge, which means the screen can tilt all the way back and beyond, enabling both a space-saving Tent mode and Tablet mode. The hinge is particularly sturdy, though, making it difficult to accidentally induce it tilting back. And yet, pushing it back is very easy.

I've really enjoyed my product so far, but didn't realize (as I ordered online and hadn't gotten a chance to test it in person, which my bad) that the speakers are on the bottom of the laptop and the "bend" of the laptop, where it can reverse.
