Helpful consumer’s review
What a great machine; It has been across the US and Europe in the two weeks since I got it and it handles everything really quickly, including large program such as Autodad. The weight is a major factor that everyone who has picked it up and tried is is amazed as to light it is, about 2.5 lbs. I carry heaviier packages of steaks from the butcher, than what this great laptop weighs. El Paso, Tx
