Customer Reviews
So far, so good., February 10, 2012 - By Gregory Miziumski "Gregor" (Portland, OR)
So far, I'm very happy with this little machine, although I've only had it for a day.
I did a lot of research, and this one kept coming up as "Editor's Choice". One thing to keep in mind when you are reading reviews at Laptopmag, etc, is that they tested the model with an i3, not the i5 being sold here. This one is plenty fast! The other point that the Z835 got dinged for was lack of Bluetooth support. Again, bluetooth IS included in this model!
Watch out for difficulties uninstalling the Norton stuff. (Install Microsoft's FREE "Security Essentials" instead!)
My only real disappointment so far is with the trackpad, but (again) that comes up in reviews. It's not as smooth as I could have hoped, and (by modern standards) it's a bit smll. On the other hand, be sure to look into the trackpad settings, and play with some of the fun options that Synaptic offers. In particular, I'm loving the "ChiralMotion Scrolling"!
I'm giving a solid 4 stars for now, but only because I haven't played with it enough to give a perfect score.
Extremely pleased, February 4, 2012 - By LT555
I'm giving this a Fiver. What a great little machine. At 2.5 pounds it's like the Jenny Craig of laptops. I did my due diligence research before I purchased and the Toshiba Ultras were rated highly on many different sites. Also I happen to work in the same lab as the Emerging Technologies group for my company and they had ordered 5 evaluation units from 5 different mfgs so I was able to compare them all straight up before purchasing. The Toshiba was definitely the winner and the Samsung Series 9 was very good also. The ACER, ASUS and HP were definitely trailing with the HP coming in last (sorry HP guys). The processor and ram specs were all very similar so I based a lot of my opinion on asthectics, keyboard layout, design and weight. I'm not going to go into so called "cons" like the size of the hard drive or lack of CD-ROM since the buyer knows these things up front anyway and if that won't work for you then look at another machine. A con to me is more like claimed performance not living up to expectations or a hardware component that is flakey. As far as the "heavy lifting" goes, you can do all the heavy lifting you want with the I5 processor as long as it's within the contraints of the capacity of the hard drive. I love the instant on feature and it truly does work as advertised. Along with Amazons usual kick butt fast shipping I'm very pleased with this purchase.
