Looks And Design

The machine has a bulky, textured plastic chassis which is resistant to fingerprints. The body of the machine is same as that of the previous year’s model. The machine is bit on the heavier side weighing 5 pounds. The laptop is not that sleek as it is 1.6 inches thick.

Keyboard And Touchpad

The keyboard of the laptop is chiclet in nature and the keys are well spread out which gives nice feeling while typing on them. However, the keys are a bit small which makes the keyboard look a bit cramped. The keyboard is backlit in nature which means that there is no problem while typing in dim light.

Below the keyboard lies the matte finished touchpad which is quite responsive. Though the touchpad offers smooth navigation, we found the mouse buttons to be a bit stiff.
