I forgot to mention battery life. I have heard conflicting reports but with the smallish battery of 55 whr the laptop streamed Netflix for about 4 hours and had 60% left and I was also browsing the web for about an hour before that. So I am not sure of screen on time in total but I would say that 6-8 hours is not out of reason maybe even longer which I think is very good considering the performance. I just wanted to add my real life experience with the battery so far.
