Rated 5 out of 5 by Newbuyer from New laptop Thin, fast and light, the speed and storage features that I was looking for are all there. The metal look keyboard and delicate lettering are hard to see in low light. Windows 11 is taking quite a lot of getting used to compared to Windows 10 - Microsoft is really pushing the one drive storage concept - not liking the changes in the interface so far.
