My goal when looking for my most recent laptop was to purchase something with the most power in the smallest size and at the lowest cost. I intended to, as shown, take my laptop to and from work to plug in at work using multiple monitors and use at home (and travel) as a small portable laptop. And honestly, I couldn't be happier with this notebook. I got the i7, 1TB, 16gb version.
So for in my first week of use the laptop has handled the 3 monitors with ease and still has lightning quick loading times between loading new web pages and switching between applications. I often have multiple programs going on the different screens and you wouldn't even notice it; there's no noticeable speed different with the laptop. It's honestly super impressive that the specs of this laptop fit in the size of this laptop. When folded shut, it's no bigger than my ipad with a case on.
As for the negative section of this review, I wish the laptop was a touch screen. The fan noise when you're really pushing it running programs is noticeable but not too loud IMO. And as others have noted on these reviews -- on a totally black screen (usually I only notice on bootup) there is a bit of backlight bleeding. I only see a tiny spot a the top and bottom. But really, not a huge deal for me. Totally unnoticeable under most conditions. And lastly, I wish it had a headphone jack built in. They do provide the adapter but it seems like they could have provided that instead of the SD card reader. No biggie for me as the little docking adapter I use to connect multiple monitors has one built in so I just use that most of the time.
Otherwise, I'd highly recommend this laptop to you if you're looking for a compact portable laptop that has great specs in a small package for a reasonable price.
