+ Size, weight, power, battery life

- GREY letters on black key caps? Why???? Unless you are in direct light then you cannot see the key caps which is important on a non-standard sized k/b. Grey on black may look cool in broad daylight but it is seriously poor in any other light. This is however the ONLY complaint I have about this laptop but it is a biggie! B.
