    Is that not even a touchscreen? The display is alright, but otherwise those specs should not cost so much. You don't have a GPU in it at all, so there should be a far more powerful cpu for that kind of price. The storage also isn't particularly great. Spec wise, for me I would look elsewhere as that is not very powerful at all. That i5 is a u series, so its a dual core, and it isn't particularly fast, nor slow. It's worth around $281 if that's any perspective. Toshiba has laptops that are like $600 with a cpu twice as fast to put it in perspective. I have literally no idea why it costs so much, it should be like 950, 1100 tops for the screen (again it should be touch if it costs that much). At the same time, I've seen far worse deals (Looking at you Macbook)

    Did you pull the trigger on this? Price seems decent for the configuration. I paid $1199 for the same config with 128GB SSD and added my own 500GB SSD.

    That's a solid configuration for the price, especially with the WWAN.
