    Saw it but I don't attach much value to it. I saw the MB screen in real life and it's good enoug imo.

    I don't think that this review is to the usual standard that notebookcheck usual does. Hopefully they will edit later and add more to this review.

    The battery life summary is particularly poor right now if they are to leave it like that. They just got the manufacturer blurb and quoted it and this is not really good enough really.

    I've always liked notebookcheck's laptop reviews. They're very detailed and for the most part quite accurate. Nice post Phil :)

    I guess they wanted to release the review as soon as possible. Normally they post detailed battery life and a video of the viewing angles.
