Outstanding bang for the buck: solid build quality, compact and lightweight, powerful mid-range Intel processor, 8 gigs RAM, gigantic half terabyte SSD, excellent backlit keyboard and extraordinary battery life, particularly considering it's an AmazonRenewed unit.What keeps this excellent package from being a home run is the quite mediocre LCD flat panel display. No matter how it's adjusted the color fidelity is never very good and worst of all, it's very angle sensitive vertically. It's certainly sharp and contrasty enough and usable, but regardless of what angle the screen is adjusted to, it just doesn't look that great compared to say an Apple Retina display which of course are among the best in the business. So perhaps I'm judging it rather harshly; you may be perfectly happy
