On part with top ThinkPad, the experience is overall better (better Linux support, less noise, easier to hack, ...).
The bad points:
- The colored bezel is shit.
- The way is open wasn't good for me and had to switch the hinges.
Now I don't even think about it, but it was really bad before.
- The 60W Power adapter doesn't last long and had to change it each year. Now I switch to the 180W.
- The battery is ok but not exceptional
The good points:
- The screen is very good (don't remember which one I choose, but not the first one, nor the last, I remember only 3 options so ...).
- The compute power is quite good, I'm impressed about that.
- Easy to clean, open it with the screwdriver, a little "Compressed air" on it, a little "Eyeglass Cleaner", and it's basically new.
- The support was very very good. I had a defective screen kit. The ask me for photos, twice (two opinions from different people). Then conclude, like I already did, that it was an internal problem (but they have to verify I'm not responsible for the defect, that is normal) and send me a display kit free of charge. I had to send back the old on, free of charge too.
