        I've only had it out of the box about 2 weeks but so far I think I like almost everything about it... It's taking a while getting used to the keys, I'm a writer and fast touch typist, but that seems to be the case with new computers... I like the look, the feel, the speed, the weight for traveling, the graphics are great, I think I'll get to like it a lot... the shiny cover gets lots of finger prints so I left the protective sticker on it... I feel I definitely got my money's worth, it's a great value.
