    Depends on the price, hopefully less than 600 for a brand new. (Just looked...totally not worth it)

    Common quirks for most people is the keyboard and the touchpad.

    It's not bad once you get used to it, but you grow pretty bad on every normal keyboard.

    Touchpad 50/50. To me, I liked the fact it has no real buttons which make it easier to clean for me.
    Not so great to first time laptop users or people who are somewhat blind :p
