The Wind arrived yesterday and boy is it cool! For those of us who are used to 14-17 inch laptops, it feels very small. And yet it is fully functional. The quality of the workmanship, fit and finish is frankly better than my recent-model HP laptops. And with a matte, as opposed to shiny, screen, I can see it better. The screen brightness is incredible at the max. It runs far quieter and cooler than any laptop I have had before. I have to get used to the smaller keyboard, but that should not take long. Of note, there is no keyboard flex when typing. I can already tell that this is going to be a lot handier during travel than the full-size laptops.
PS: the sound quality from the small speakers on the bottom of the case is bad. That doesn't matter too much to me since I am partially deaf anyway. Sound quality from headphones is good, however.
