Customer reviews have rated this product as a very good and efficient model. Very light weight and easy to transport; overall battery life is very good; the large touchpad area is helpful and the sound is great for such a small machine.

On the downside customers felt that screen rotation should not be manual and occasionally touchpad and touchscreen operation was poor.
