Awesome computer performance wise, LCD screen makes it a bit heavy though.
Excellent computer, used to have a Macbook Air so be warned of my bias!
Performance wise it rocks, incredible graphics, awesome response time, snazzy apps, no complaints here. Truly love it. DEFINITELY worth the 1300 I paid for it, very low price for the 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM.
Compared to other computers I've had, PC's and Mac's its quite heavy, perhaps because of LCD screen. But again, Macbook Air person here :). The LCD screen is worth it.
Now the only reason I gave it a 4, and it really deserves a 4.9 or 4.8, is battery-wise (this is a brand new computer 12 cycle count beginning day 1 and this is only day 7). I decided to test the battery, now according to Apple it should last at least 7 hours, running fully, surfing, browsing, editing, well I left the screen at lowest possible brightness closed all applications, and left it alone. 5 HOURS later it shut down, I could understand a few minute difference but not 2 WHOLE HOURS, the battery is fully functional I tested it repeatedly after this incident so as far as I'm concerned……...Apple lied. I hesitate to make such a statement but with no discernible explanation, I'd be lying not to. Now I don't have any statical analysis so I could be completely wrong here, but I used to work as a computer technician, and when I test something I TEST something so the chances of this battery being bad in any way are doubtful. But as always, there's a margin of error, so take what you will from this, sorry to blab your ear off with my dreary attitude and just remember this computer truly is awesome, love it, buy it, take care of it as you would a baby since it will give SO much back to you long-term. :)
Bye, and hoped I helped your computer-buying decisions.Read full review
