24 April 2013
  • Summary: That laptop has a far superior screen, a better keyboard and touchpad, a sturdier build quality, and the ability to fold into a tablet for times when that makes sense.
  • Pros: Good touchscreen responsiveness; respectable parts; affordable price.
  • Cons: Weak screen; touchy touchpad; almost heavy for this class.

  • Pros: Attractive design, Excellent touchpad, Good performance
  • Cons: Heavy for an Ultrabook, Lots of bloatware, Narrow viewing angles on display, Unimpressive battery life
