As I stated in the title this is exactly what I've come to expect from this series of laptops. Good build quality and performance at a reasonable price. While the Core i7 isn't necessarily a speed demon, it is good for its intended use in an Ultra-slim laptop.Overall it looked like a new laptop when I received it.My only nitpicks are that it uses a single 16 GB SODIMM and an aftermarket charger. Again these are very minor nitpick to a good quality laptop.
