Great looks; keyboard works; a treat provides all the benefits of an ultrabook

Too much flexibility on the screen's hinges; battery life could have been better; next time add an SD card slot

Glad to see the big vent on the side. It would be helpful, however, to show a picture of the underside as well. You mention it gets warm but are there actually vents underneath where air blows out? If so, I won't buy one.

Am I correct in saying this ?
