Quick questions! is the keyboard responsive, Does the computer get hot, and is it glossy? and over all how is it?

I don't know what you mean by responsive, but it doesn't get very hot at all. It gets warm when I play a game on it, but not bad. Over all, I love it. It gets about 5 hours when fully charged and works fast. There's one thing that bothers me, and it's that the scrolly thing on the pad doesn't work anymore. I don't know if I changed a setting without realizing it because it worked the first day I had it. Hope that helps a bit :)

Hi Joseph,It is a smooth service. It is the model you show in this picture. I bought it for my husband and he likes it. The keyboard is very easy to use.

That stinks. Mine works well. Sometimes the delete is crazy fast. Next computer will have lighted keyboard.

This laptop does not get very hot, which is very surprising for its very thin profile. The palm rests on both left and right stays relatively cool. The keyboard will get warm but not to any extent of discomfort. The only area that does get mildly warm, however, is the area where the JBL branded speakers are, up to the power button area. Everywhere else on the laptop stays cool and comfortable. For me, CPU temperatures reach up to 75C during intensive 3D games, which is pretty decent.

It is quieter than say a stock Dell keyboard. It more or less has a rather muffled thunk type of sound compared to clicking. I'm a programmer / sys admin and I don't completely touch type, nor do I type 60 wpm. So your mileage may vary.

Julian, I bought this laptop back in Dec/2013. I did not experience any issues with the keyboard.

I have used this keyboard - although, not a great deal. I purchased it for my laptop when the "e" and "s" keys wore out and Apple told me they no longer supported it. I only use this laptop for presentations outside my office, but so far, it works well, is lightweight, and since the finish on my laptop is also brushed aluminum, it looks like it belongs together. Hope that helps you.

Yes it is, just be sure to get the correct keyboard lay out; tact is fine and does not get that "oily" feeling.

That is one of the downfalls of this laptop. The keyboard is very basic and does not have any special controls or access keys. You have adjust the volume manually on Windows.

Hey bro im going to tell my sincere experience... I bought that laptop like 1 momth ago, is got a lot of style and is very slim but i start downloading games like BF 4, Skyrim and watch dogs and in my experience the computer overheated cuz is too slim.

Is heavy but man im 6'2 so i dont care carrying a bit of weight thats it! Hope it help!

It's a bit high, but i expected as much seeing how thin the laptop is, also the dual vents help a lot and the smart dedicated /integrated video card switcher, helps a wjole lot to keep temp at bay. I hope this answer is helpful to you, besides that, its a GREAT laptop, the metallic finish looks awesome, and the customizable backlit keyboard is really cool.

Katie, if you have deft fingers this could be a fine computer for you. The keyboard is great for typing - but the touch-pad is oddly positioned and somehow combines excessive sensitivity (when you don't want something to happen) with sluggishness (when you do). I think of my G6 as good for fairly light jobs - though if I used it more, I'd probably get more confident about bigger projects. Programs run smoothly and quickly, anyhow.

Yes it looks exactly like that buddi, the keyboard is great for those late nights on the web. Some keys sometimes get stuck but its not that bad. I wanted to put a pic here but i dont seem to be able to do that. Find me on facebook (ralph Dimas) and i will send u the pic.

Yes, it's a solid little computer. Of course it's lighter than bigger laptops, but the only plastic is the keys on the keyboard. I really like the keyboard.

JOHN L: I don't have a definitive answer for you. Haven't tried. Haven't even thought about it. For the record: Didn't care for it. It's chief virtue in my view is its footprint: occupies small real estate on the desktop. Takes a while to get accustomed to the small size. Have switched back to full size keyboard which I find much more to my liking.

Have not had a problem with the heat, but I will say that surface is not the best to the laptop because it is not sticky, wood like surface is a bit slippery.
