    I use this laptop like any other college student; facebook and homework. And i Love it. Its light, sleek and a joy to have. There are no extra buttons for volume control or media control. Everything is controlled with function on the keyboard which is nice. Battery life is great. The speakers are nothing special though. Overall the physical design of this machine is what makes u love it. I feel it is designed to remove all the failure of other bands of laptops.
