★★★☆☆ As other online reviews have pointed out, the sound is AMAZING, the keyboard and trackpad are wonderful, the build quality is excellent, and the port selection is solid.Some of those same reviews pointed out how the screen is dim. However, I was shocked and disappointed by just how dim it really was. I wasn't expecting it to be the greatest, but in my view it is actually bad. And to make matters worse, it seemed like the screen was poorly calibrated out of the box, leading to pretty bad white balance. For me, this screen is completely unacceptable for a full day's worth of work.- I constantly found myself reaching for the button to try and increase the screen brightness, only to be frustrated that I'd maxed it out already.- The dim light and off coloring was actually giving me headaches.- My 2011 Macbook Air (which I bought this to replace, isn't even 1080p, and is on the fritz), is still brighter and more color accurate than this computer.Because of this, I returned my laptop after only 2 or 3 days. It's really a shame that I hated the screen so much. The rest of the computer was a joy to use.

★★☆☆☆ I enjoyed using this machine for about a month before it slipped from my fingers and dropped on the floor from about 1 m. It landed on the corner near the power switch which dented the case and the hinge and cracked the screen. I was surprised the case was designed to be so vulnerable to what should have been a minor event. Contributing to its vulnerability are its slick surfaces the sharp angles of the case. Makes day-to-day handling a bit dicey and is prone to slip from your fingers. So, while the inner workings of the computer seemed very nice and functional while it was whole, I am now faced with purchasing another notebook.

★★★☆☆ at volume 60% and up sound starts to cause the case to vibrate producing annoying noise. Its weird given that its aluminum. I will return this soon if I cant find a way to fix it. I don't know if its all units or just this but it would be a disaster if all units do this and still the laptop is getting so much praise. I searched so much about it and never seen anyway mention such a thing
