  • Design and form factor I am a fan of Thinkpad design so, I love it. great!
  • Battery life It's not what is advertised but gets me over 4 hours with moderate load. good

  • Durability Feels extremely sturdy and put together well! great!
  • Expandability Unlike typical Thinkpads there are no panels to open or access to internals. You cannot upgrade RAM. so-so

Detailed review
Was pleasantly surprised with the speed and responsiveness of this machine. Keyboard is great, and the display is pretty good. I was hoping for an IPS or full HD but this is fine. Stays very cool when working on it and pretty quiet. Sound could be better, but what can you expect from an ultrabook. I use headphones always so that's not a factor for me. Touchpad=awesome.
