James Saunders "Crimson Seoul" (Birmingham, AL USA) : Just got this laptop in the mail today. Been playing with it for about 3 hours. I love this laptop! I haven't experienced the same issues as the first reviewer. No heat issues, little to no fan noise and wifi connects no problem. Browser speed is faster than my new workstation I use for work. I'm really impressed. The keys are really comfortable and quiet. It has a number pad which is nice. It's so sleek and pretty. It's just a beautiful and it feels sturdy. The screen is really crisp and very responsive to touch. Overall after a few hours of playing with this beauty, I absolutely recommend this laptop.
Brandon "ba116" (Cambridge, MA USA) : I was shocked at how slow the computer was for the first week that i used it. Programs would constantly hang as the computer tried to catch up. Startup (including automatically starting Outlook) took over 90 seconds. Opening a metro app (like mail or weather) took about 7 seconds. That is not what i was expecting w/ a quad core i7 and 8 GB of memory. The hard drive was obviously the culprit so i replaced it w/ a Crucial SSD (256GB). It's night and day. It feels zippy, programs ope quickly, full startup is about 25 seconds.
Cedar : Followed the directions posted here for installing the Samsung 840 Pro series 256GB SSD and this thing works great. Boots to log in about 15 seconds (I've already loaded a bunch of software that slows it down too, before the added software it booted in about 7 seconds). Super slim, had to bite the bullet on Windows 8 and have had a few problems with USB 3.0 hubs crashing the OS but overall I'm very happy with this system. It replaced a 2 year old Asus G75 17" notebook, but is way faster and many pounds lighter. I use this as my main desktop/development system, choosing to carry a 2TB USB 3.0 WD passport external drive to lug all the archive junk, old docs, music and photo collections, etc.
