My observation is as follows

-The one piece aluminum body is sleek and beautiful. Not only does it look great but also prevent flexing of the body. Great solid feel

-Battery life is excellent. Probably somewhere around 6ish + hours of light surfing the web

-The glossy screen is potentially a problem. Whist it looks great indoors, the glare might be an issue when used outdoors.

-Not the typical laptop keyboard keys. Rather than having a slight indentation of each keys, they are all flat.

Overall an excellent machine. Will be sad to give it back

    It was an honour to be asked to be a groomsman. Having not been to many weddings its quite a contrast between attending a wedding, and to be involve backstage on one.

    May the best of luck
