Not a laptop for computers and accessories

Dislikes: USB ports felt a little small, could barely squeeze my devices into the bottom panel that opens for ventilation, a bit flimsy that's ok on one Solid desk, but I'm concerned that it will bend when it leans against my leg. Half the power input is a bit inconvenient, the lack of an ethernet port is odd (I guess I can use USB?) However, I'll probably never use it, and the wifi is very fast. Probably the best Wi-Fi card I've ever had. I hardly touched it during the day and a lot of stains are visible. I need to find a rag to wipe off. The bevel can be uncomfortable in your palm depending on how you hold your hand. Battery theoretically like: Very nice looking hardware. There is no camera that could spy on me. Fast loading and editing. Not sure how it works. This is not a "pen with one hand, lie on the couch" type laptop. I bought this machine especially so that I can paint on the go. forward so I can access it with a tablet in front of the laptop. A mouse pad isn't something you want to use for hours at a time, you'll likely have a separate mouse. Runs Zbrush and Photoshop with no problems. Don't spend too much time gaming and don't intend to use it for that purpose, but it worked pretty well with Warcraft. In general I'm not happy. But I have a hard time finding a laptop I don't hate. It cost $2300? Probably not. Update: It just slows down a bit when opening Photoshop and drawing lines. Update 2: Heats up quickly, battery drains quickly, stutters when painting in Photoshop.
