I wanted a slightly smaller sized and much better battery life laptop to code on in my free time.  I was looking at macbook airs but at 4x the cost.The cons: the trackpad is not the best, but not the worst.  Definitely workable, but a huge downgrade from a mac.  Better than some lenovos.the screen resolution is fine but the screen feels a bit.... odd.  i can't put my finger on it.  the video card isn't a beast, nor do I need one, but it feels like the refresh rate was obviously low.2 gigs of ram is enough for what I need, but barely.  Getting a windows license was a headache, it didn't come with one and the support was bad.the pros: actual 10 hour battery life.  I'm using this for web browsing, coding and small tasks.  it handles them perfectly and I get an actual 10 hours of screen on time with this laptop using linux.perfect size and weight to go: Its easy to throw into a backpack or just carry out.usb c and 2 full usb ports.Thats really all there is to it.
