I have been VERY happy with my new laptop. It's extremely powerful and fast, and has all of the bells and whistles of a touch screen, tablet, and flipped mode to be able to write by hand. I love how light weight it is, and it came with a sleek carrying portfolio that can fit in a big purse. It came with a stylus (that has magnets in it so it attaches to the computer, very convenient) and a plug for headphones. Sound and picture quality are excellent. The downsides: the battery life does not seem to be as long as advertised. I'd say five hours max, and that's with light use in doing research (no big games or anything like that). Another downside is only one USB port, so I needed to buy a dongle for USB plugs (they're cheap). The other downside is that the speakers are not very loud. The sound is great when I'm on my headphones, but sound is easily lost from the laptop itself. Otherwise, an excellent laptop.
