It's a really great laptop with two or three flaws so far.Pros:
-Love the backlit keyboard
-i7 is pretty fast (admittedly not as fast as I had thought it would be but still pretty fast)
-Enough storage (though it is a hybrid drive and not a full SSD)
-Optical drive!
-Beautiful display with touch
-Instant on is great too. I love just opening up and starting to work
-Boot time is about 15 secs
-Price is pretty reasonable
-Windows 8 it pretty nice with a touchscreen laptop
-Not too heavy for a 15 incher it's really light
Cons:
-Keyboard... The spacebar is kinda iffy. It decides when it wants to press. I have to actively think, "ok, press spacebar" to get it to register. The keys themselves are very shallow too. Sometimes I'm not sure if I pressed it and end up repeating letters.
-No dedicated graphics This was the one real Achilles heel but the pros were so many I opted for it anyways.
-Battery life is kinda low. I get 3 to 4 hours with everyday use on a single charge.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. Haven't seen any games that I want to try out with it yet but I saw when researching that it can manage some light games.
NOTE: Also from research, if you want to buy this laptop and switch out the hard drive for an SSD, KEEP THE ORIGINAL DRIVE! It has something to do with restoring. A quick google search will provide more info.
Update: 7/7/2013 Found another con today when I tried to Skype my friend. The webcam is horrible. I was in a pretty well lit room and I looked like a blob of darkness. The mic is fine though. Just something to know if you're a big video-chatter. Not a deal breaker for me though and does not change my four star rating as I was more like four and a half before.
