this probably has a much smaller footprint as well as better screen resolution and they are usually ips'. also ssd's, but i agree. most people will be fine with a dual core pentium g or an a6 apu.

It's too bad, really great form factor & weight. But the touchpad is the backbone of a laptop, if it sucks, you will never be happy with it. LIke a Porsche with a broken transmission.

Just curious. When the trackpad freezes, is the cursor still moving and the computer still responding. Or does the whole OS freeze?
