The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I wouldn't say that. Let's see how a ULV processor with no GPU handles that resolution. Let's see how well Windows scales on it. And frankly, at 13", I think that screen resolution is probably overkill. Have you ever looked at a 13" 1080p screen and said "darn it, there just aren't enough pixels!!!" More isn't always better with pixel counts.

    Let's also see how solid that hinge is in real life, and how much the Q costs. Let's see if the windows Android apps are lag-tastic. Lots of unanswered questions.

    I think the fact that it is running a fourth gen processor and an i5 at that (not an atom) says a lot, taking into consideration how well the Haswell processors are said to have been working.
