    Almost perfect

    A great machine.
    However, I would criticise the length of the charger cable, between the PC and the charger case, which makes it impossible to place it on the floor. So you have to put the charger next to the PC.
    I'd also add that the trackpad has a slight 'play', making a little noise with each click, although this is well known and often worse on other laptops.
    Apart from that, the screen is great (reflections are present but well blurred, so it passes), performance is up to scratch (especially in terms of RAM) and the overall finish is really superb.
    I'd definitely recommend it!
