    simply perfect!

    Very well packaged, delivered with a handy little pouch, this ultra portable is just enormous... in terms of its features ;)
    The sales pitch doesn't lie: it's really very light, well connected (for a PC of its size), high-performance and, frankly, high-quality: the materials are very pleasant.
    I had two questions: about the elevation of the base when you open the screen and about the numeric keypad integrated into the pad. You get used to it really quickly, and it's ultra-practical.
    The battery life is amazing.
    I've been taking it everywhere since I got it, for a really wide range of uses, and it's been faultless to date!

    A very pleasant surprise

    A very complete, very light PC with a very nice design.
    I find the numeric keypad integrated into the touchpad very practical. Just touch the corner of the touchpad to switch the keyboard on and off.
    The fingerprint reader is responsive.
    The webcam mask is also good.
    The only fault I found was that the ventilation is noisy.

    Powerful and lightweight!

    This laptop was just what I was looking for, as I wanted to replace a 6-year-old laptop that was mainly used for travel photography.
    With 1TB of HDD, 32GB of RAM and weighing just 1kg, I'll be able to upload my images to LightRoom and catalogue them on my travels!
    It's a shame it doesn't have a more powerful graphics chipset. To get that, you'd have to upgrade to the next size and weight, which I didn't want!
    I'm satisfied with this purchase, and we'll have to wait and see how reliable it is over time ...
