| Have this one too. Superb appart from a few minor downsides: - build in speakers are glitchy (crackle when you adjust screen brightness or on other random occasions) - bluetooth is not good enough for a mouse, seems to collide with wifi usage (this one bugs me. A dongle is quite a price to pay when you have only 2 usb ports) - not the best battery life (trade-off with the graphics card I guess) - screen flicker on lowest brightness - keys rattle in the wind (not really an issue, but strange to hear really silently tic tic tic like a harddrive, when you just have an SSD inside. - screws on the back are flimsy. I found it hard to tell when they are really tight and to get them in straight. Was a bit scary but seems to have worked out :) The rest is still awesome and I'd buy it again :). Good build, small, matte display and within my budget. (I put more ram, threw the HD in to an external enclosure and put in a good SSD) |
I used to get this thing where the screen would turn off because apparently the thunderbolt 3 circuits are interfering/being interefered by the wifi. But even this has stopped, maybe through a bios update?
Despite the sort of scary quality stories, when you get a good one, it's really great. The touch screen I was surprised actually comes into play, especially for demoing apps, or in tight quarters like a coach plane seat, where you can't even get to the touchpad.
