Helen, Music, gaming or video fan

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: This laptop is sleek & powerful enough to meet all my needs which is heavy if not too intensive usage. The battery lasts several hours & the laptop is easy to carry around. Although it cost slightly more than I wanted I think getting an i5 core processor was worth it.
Bad points:: The screen is very reflective so working in very bright environments can be problematic. Normal indoor light is fine however. The lid of the laptop seems to scratch easily, I'd recommend buying a sleeve for it!
