    Overpriced is the first thing that comes to mind. And the link you have posted only confirms it. 600 yoyos for a core i3 laptop is quite steep.

    P.S. Same model here for €70 less. And it's got a white keyboard which is a lot better in poor ambient light.

    Overpriced. Nice cases but a b!tch to fix a lot of the time and often poor cooling. Get yourself a nice lenovo.

    Pretty much this.

    I wouldn't bother paying the massive premium in some cases for the name and decent design.

    for what you spend they sure look nice, but then a customer comes back complaining about the cheap off-brand wifi module they use. You'd figure for the price they'd put in something proper like an Intel adapter or something, but no. Apparently a couple of their models suffer from the same issue, just ****ty internet performance because of a cheap adapter.

    Between the Lenovos I see and the Sony's I see: frankly the Sony has a better screen. Not just resolution, but better gamut, deeper colors, less washed out look, better viewing angle.
