I'd be very tempted were it not for 1 thing - the cheap nasty display. Useless.
Probably the ugliest notebook I have seen in a while to be honest. Nothing particularly special about it either really.
If they were to sort the design out and the screen then maybe it would be in with a shot.

I still don't understand why laptop designers go to all the trouble of fitting a nice GPU into a laptop, and then pair it with these rubbish displays - what is the point?
One can either get an ultrabook with a nice display but integrated graphics, or dedicated graphics but a crappy display - where is the logic here??
Yuck, half looks like a machine from the last decade, lid looks like it's good for a 4:3 panel!
It's like putting in a ferrari engine only to fill it up with diesel...
Loving the performance for the pricetag, not so much the display, when tablets have 1080p and higher displays at 10-ish inches, is there really any excuse? Actually resolution isn't the main issue, it's just that IPS would be so much nicer
I'd still buy one though if I hadn't embarked on my current overhaul projects
1440x900 or 1600x900 would even be better, is it so hard? 1920x1080 would be great but I can see how that is on the verge of overkill for a <12" screen that's several feet from your face.
I don't care how ugly it is, I'm ugly and unfashionable too - just please, no more of these awful screens, its 2012, I had 1280x800 in 2005 on a £400 Celeron powered Dell Inspiron.
Blimey, i'm actually seriously impressed.
First laptop thats a contender to the 11" ultraportable Lenovo's i've had over the past few years.
(Currently an x121e with AMD E-450 APU, only cost me £330 though. and it's low power enough to run fanless 90% of the time with the help of a little program )
This one is double the cost, but damn good value for such specs.
If i were to buy a new laptop now, i'd have a very hard decision to make on this vs a lenovo
Edit: I do agree on the screen res though, but i've yet to see an 11" screen with higher than 1366x768 anywhere, seems an unofficial industry standard
"What's not to like?" - the x768 screen for a start
Nice specs, not impressed with the screen but I dont mind the looks, it's just aim and understated which I have no problem with
