OUR VERDICT

Solid build construction and a powerful processor are let down by a lack of solid state storage, unreliable flip detection and a slightly dark screen.

FOR

  • Good build quality and it’s aesthetically pleasing
  • Powerful processor for the price
  • Large 1TB hard drive

AGAINST

  • Relatively low resolution screen that isn’t visible from all angles
  • No SSD and a noisy hard drive
  • Unreliable flip detection
