This is the laptop that I’ve been using personally in a professional capacity for the last 5 years. So, thought it would be good to pen down a little about it.

THINGS TO NOTE / MY EXPERIENCE:
PERFORMANCE: In terms of performance, it can take up good load when necessary in my prior firsthand experience. I can’t think of any instance when it was found wanting even with multiple applications / functions running.
The i7 processor with its abundant RAM and other memory resources worked pretty well on a Windows 7 as well as a Windows 10 operating system.
LOOK AND FEEL: It is having an overall pleasant demeanor with smart greyish black appearance, although certainly not the lightest laptop around with its huge LED display and sharp contours.
BATTERY LIFE: The battery life is understandably pretty good with 8 cells. It still provides pretty good backup in the event of a non-charging atmosphere after 5 years straight.
PORTABILITY: Despite not being that light, it is quite portable and has not shown any signs of weakness on having worked on it from different offices.
KEYBOARD: It is a non-backlit normal QWERTY keyboard and there is never a hindrance in operating it.
I’m not commenting about the "price" as this was only for professional usage and I’m aware of the price at the time I started using it.
THE NOT THAT GREAT THINGS:
1] There was an instance the OS had crashed owing to quantifiable reasons, but that can’t really be called very uncommon for systems subjected to daily work and loads, especially in a professional environment.
2] Something had happened to the charger and had to replaced in 2-3 years. That was unfortunate. But since it was duly replaced, I don’t really have any complaints.
3] It does exhibit some significant heating at times, but beyond the line of control of harboring any real "worry". The temperature drops fairly fast too upon aborting usage.
Being a relatively recent model when I first started using it, it has proved to be a pretty efficient and faithful workhorse over a period of time.
