Owned this laptop for about 4 months, and have been nothing short of impressed. Two downfalls that made me give 4 stars instead of 5:Fan noise. It's not as bad as some other reviews make it sound, but still a nuisance. The first few days it will be excessive (I assume its installing new stuff)... after that it's occasional, but still loud enough to be a bother when it does ramp up.Opening it. Seemingly nit-picky, but makes using it less pleasant when every time you struggle to get the lid up. There really is no great way to do it.Those two things aside, its an amazing laptop. I'm an online student and have had no issues out of it performance wise.  Display is incredible as well. Durability is better than expected. In fact, I'm writing this review because of it just slid off of the trunk of my car and onto my driveway and still works. The aluminum on the lid is bent a little but nothing actually broke, which is VERY impressive for a 4 foot fall onto concrete. Also the bent shell mostly resolved the opening issue so I guess its a win win....Overall I HIGHLY recommend this laptop as long as you don't plan on doing any serious gaming or anything like that with it.
