    Hi I was actually looking at the same laptop, seems to have great reviews. My only concern would be the processor power. The intel core M5y10 is a low power processor, which will give the laptop huge battery life but it will struggle to run demanding programs/games. The laptop will still excel with web browsing and basic programs. Hope I was able to help in some way

    Intel Core M 5Y10 (0.8MHz Base, 2.00GHz Max Clock, Intel Graphics 5300
    A 0.8GHz (I hope/presume the above is a typo) base clock doesn't sound that great. And if you were to run it turbo, would it be able to handle it all the time?
