How about the charger for the slice battery? Can be it be also used as a spare charger for the notebook or does it use some other kind of connector and / or different voltage // amperage specs?

Thanks for the picture btw!

The charger is a little box you can just tick on. the port on that is the same as your laptop. so you can put in your laptop charger. They only give you 1 charger though, so if you want them both charged you got to put it on the laptop.

Thank you for the pictures. I know this is a pretty subjective thing to ask, but how does the keyboard feel? Is it flexy, mushy, strong? I dont know if you have ever tried an ASUS keyboard, but those things are unbearably flexy.

[nutral]

When typing its not flexy at all, if you push on it hard enough it will flex, but you won't feel it and you won't see it until you start looking for it and push quite hard. The travel is a little short but i can type on anything so it isn't really a problem for me.

I added a picture of the experience index to the album !

Thanks, much appreciated. What is your take on the quality of the screen?

[ssssssssss]

Good effort on the pictures man

How much RAM have you got, just 4GB? My WEI comes out as 7.1, 7.5, 5.3, 6.4, 5.9 which isn't that much less on the graphics card (although I appreciate WEI isn't exactly a good way to measure it).

What do you think overall? I'm liking it more the more I use it, I think we shall get along fine for a few years. Will definitely pick one of those slice batteries up when I can afford it, although it's pretty crap you only get the one PSU.

The screen is a like most other laptops in viewing angles, not very good, especially vertical. Black isn't really that black as well. But the half matte display works ok, its not a mirror but it still has a little glare in it and the screen is very bright, brighter than my other laptop and probably bright enough in combination with the half matte coating to use outside.

I just have the 1 4gb, i was gonna get another 4gb stick for 40€ aftermarket, then put in a ssd and this laptop will fly.

I like the laptop, its very light and small and still very usable, the backlit keyboard is very nice and the feel of the bottom half is also very good. The screen is very flexible so i feel like i am breaking it, but i think it should be fine.

Btw the USB 3.0 port is also a always power on port, i put in something when it was off and it started charging . Im going to take a look if i can switch the odd with an ssd, so i have 80gb ssd + 500g hd.

btw, take a look at my serial :P

That's good to hear (especially in combination with the slice battery) - hadn't seen any mention of that. My experience of the backwards compatibility of USB3 ports on my new desktop w/ USB2 devices has been decidedly mixed, but this uses a different controller I think.
