I got mine about a month ago and love it. Congrats! Give us another review after you've used it for a bit.

Been using mine about a month now. I love everything about it apart from:

  • Speaker, these are shocking.
  • Battery is so so, luckily it's 99% of it's usage is around the house so i'm close to chargers
  • Wish there was an OLED screen option, it's sharp and bright but the contrast is blah.
  • Keyboard feels a tiny bit cheap but it's great to use.
  • Fan, can be a bit reluctant to spin down.

Overall i'm really happy with the purchase and getting some good use out of it.

@giant_smeeg @shertson
I have to agree with the speaker thing. I upgraded to the 80db speakers, and TBH I can't notice a difference at all. I suppose the new speakers as slightly better, but without a side-by-side comparison, it just feels like both are bad.

Other than the speakers and not-excellent battery (and the missing BIOS update issue), I love my 2 frameworks and I'm happy to keep using it.
