![]() Is this a dealbreaker? Not unless your job involves dashing in and out of meetings on constant rotation. Considering our routine with any laptop is a bog-standard mix of web browsing, Google Docs and the like, that we would regularly charge this one up with an hour so before darting home shows its stamina won't set the world alight. Although we came close, we didn’t manage to see through a full nine-to-five working day with this computer.

More so than even themselves, there’s nothing journalists love to talk about more than keyboards. And, as with pretty much any Microsoft-made laptop we’ve tried in recent years, its keyboard is rock solid.
