The screen doesn't glare as much as others, easier on the eyes. Of course, the negatives are that Microsoft tries to overwhelm you with their products and add ons, most of which you don't need anyway. The tilt screen is really nice. It's thin and lightweight. It's kinda weird that they put the model and serial numbers where you can't reach them unless you turn the screen upside down. I do like it, but it's taking me an inordinate amount of time to get all my "stuff" on there. The worst thing is they give you a keyboard and mouse with cables instead of cordless! Ug.
