Score 6.0/10

+ Stays cool. Performance is OK.

- Not the high quality item I was expecting. There is a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, a lot of flex in the keyboard and the trackpoint is annoyingly small meaning it takes three sweeps to move the pointer from one side of the screen to the other. My internet connection also drops frequently on this laptop, it was working fine on my old laptop.
