Epic battery life (advertised 9.5, real usage ~7-8), surprisingly well built, ok keyboard (not mushy). I'm pretty happy with mine. Only downside is the glossy shell which attracts fingerprints, and the touchpad click button is a little bit stiff, but softens up. Though you dont use touchpad, so no big deal. Comes with a case. If you're looking for a mouse to go with it, logitech have some awesome laser mouse with this tiny little 'nano receiver' that you can just leave plugged into the computer, as it only extends out about 3-4mm.
