The use of a magnesium alloy case in an understated purple fits right into the move towards fashion in computers. The keyboard is one of the strongpoints of this laptop. Its size is 95 percent of a standard desktop's. It does take a little practice to be completely comfortable with it, as the function keys, such as delete and cursors, are not separated and are initially awkward. This, though, is a typical limitation of virtually any laptop.
All attachments are simple plug and play.
No skill is needed to make them function, and no special steps are required to set them up. Simply plug them in, and they're ready to go. There aren't many downsides to this product. The software provided, with the exception of the graphics editor, is not particularly exciting. The initial setup brings up Microsoft Outlook on bootup, which is rather irritating-especially since disabling it requires editing the Registry, as it isn't in the Startup menu.
