I've only had this laptop for a week, but here are my first impressions so far:
2nd Gen Intel iCore5: This gen of intel has the new `Sandy Bridge' as part of the processor. I don't know how to explain it, but my cousin is a computer tech and in layman's terms says it makes the processor more efficient which allows for the next feature to do what it does....
Incredible battery life: Most of you will have read that in the description it claims that the battery can last 8-9hrs. And..... its true! I thought it was too good to be true, but charge the battery up to 100% and you won't have to worry about the battery. (Although, I am sure battery life varies, depending on how much you are trying to do. I plan to test this out to further extent a little later.) For example, I sat down and caught up on 4, 45-min long TV episodes...the battery notification area said it still had enough to do it all over again, stating that it had enough to last a little over 4 hours. Amazing!
Amazing Audio: Now I can't compare this to what other laptops have, like HP's Beats Audio, only to what my previous laptop had, Altec Lansing, which I still think sounds good after 4 years, considering how the performance of the laptop overall has plummeted. (Now this is a Dolby Home Theatre sound system and majority of homes have that sound system on their TV's and, well, it hardly ever disappoints. Now back to the review.) While I was watching those TV shows, I mentioned above, I had plugged in my headphones...I had the volume at 50% and it nearly blew my eardrums out! I had to turn down the laptop volume to 20% & then lower the websites volume by another 50% & it was still plenty loud. Without the headphones, I keep both the iTunes volume and the laptop volume at 50% and it's more than enough. I played it at max volume and what surprised me the most was how little the music got distorted played that loud.
Keyboard/Touchpad: (Just let me say this, I love the chiclets keys!) On another site someone mentioned how close the backslash bar & enter key are, in comparison to the other keys. They raised concern that one might hit one of the keys by accident (ie `enter' instead of the `backslash' or vice versa) I assure you that is not the case. Once you get used to the spacing between all the keys, it's going to be pretty hard to hit the wrong key. I have no complaints about the touchpad, it has great response, and I actually don't hit this touchpad with my palm, seeing as how my hands fall squarely outside of it.
USB 3.0: I'm not sure about what this can do yet, as I don't have any accessories that run on 3.0, but it seems that the laptop finds the software and installs it at a much quicker pace that I'm used to. Can't wait to see start getting products that run on USB 3.0's.
ClearFi: I have yet to test this out entirely, but so far my laptop has "found" my other laptop and Sony TV. I just need to see what exactly can be played from my libraries on either one. I figure it must be something like the `Shared Libraries' feature on iTunes but instead it used Windows Media Player.
Other than that, it is eerily quiet. The hard drive is so quiet, when I step away and the screen turns off, I keep thinking that the laptop has gone to sleep! Even the CD drive is quiet, this is going to take some getting used to, haha.
In closing, after a Compaq that lasted only 2 years (ending with a burnt out hard drive and screen), an HP that lasted 2 years, and my last HP Pavilion dv2000 series lasted 4 years (with several repairs made to the motherboard, screen and hard drive as well), I can say that none of them ever started off this well and I can only hope that it continues in the long run.
I know I might have missed some things, it's only been a week and I'm still learning the ropes around Windows 7 and all the tricks this thing has up its sleeve. But if you have any questions ask away and I'll try and get back to you A.S.A.P.
