Excellent Ultrabook

I was initially skeptical about this device after reading several reviews of this Ultrabook. Many have complained about the spacebar not recognizing keystrokes, but I haven't had this problem. This Ultrabook is very light and small, making it a very handy travel device. The Core i7 is a powerful processor, but it's still a thin laptop, so I don't recommend forcing the laptop to do any heavy lifting unless you want the fans to sound like a mini jet engine. The touchscreen is nothing special and requires a bit more pressure than most other touchscreens and is sometimes hard to see on the screen when you're outside and the sun is shining. It took me a while to get used to the keyboard as I had never used a laptop this small before. But after a week of use, I've been enjoying typing on it. The speakers on this ultrabook are better than any of my previous laptops, but I've only had 3 laptops including this one so I'm not sure what's good. laptop speakers. The biggest downside of this device for me is that the USB ports are on the right side of the ultrabook. If you connect a mouse to a laptop with a cable, you are more likely to accidentally bump into it and potentially bend the connector. But other than that, I'd say this ultrabook is one of the best. I especially recommend it as a laptop for school.
