The editors didn't like
Keyboard is not backlit
Underwhelming battery life
Lacks keyboard backlight
So-so CPU performance
No touch or backlit keyboard option
If you're into those
Some backlight bleed around the edges of the display
Core M and the HD 5300 GPU are significantly slower than Broadwell-U or Haswell-U
Dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi instead of 802.11ac
Touchpad can be finicky
Mostly with regards to clicking
Middling performance in testing. No touch screen. Speakers are disappointing
Core M can lag in performance
Quiet speakers
No backlit keyboard
Webcam has poor white balance
No touch screen
Keyboard isn't backlit
Intel Core M is slower than Core i series
Mediocre performance
No USB-C port for charging or external display
Keys aren't backlit
My kingdom for backlit keys. Lacks the sex appeal of Dell's onlyslightlypricier XPS 13. Oddball screenhinge design can cause some slippage while you type. Weak builtin speakers are an affront to ears everywhere
