For YouTube videos it'll work, but music begs for headphones. Some things, such as the Windows 8 main menu and some of Microsoft's native apps, scale well to that lower resolution, but Web surfing in particular felt off, with too-large text and limited screen real estate.Īudio is predictably thin-sounding, but the speakers at least get reasonably loud. But, the 1,366x768-pixel native resolution feels dated and low-end in a 15-inch laptop. The touch panel is very responsive - I have yet to find a Windows 8 laptop or hybrid that has a sluggish touch screen. The screen is crisp and bright (for a budget laptop), and the edge-to-edge glass over the entire front face gives it an upscale look. That 15.6-inch touch screen is both a system highlight and one of its disappointments. And, in fact, I found myself using the screen for a lot of basic navigation, much as I did on the Acer Aspire S7, another non-transforming touch-screen clamshell. Fortunately, with a touch screen, you won't have to struggle with the awkward Windows 8 touch pad gestures as much. With plenty of space, multifinger gestures such as the two-finger scroll, have room to breathe, although the touch pad response is a bit jumpy compared with the best non-Mac examples. The touch pad is pleasingly large, and of the button-free clickpad variety often reserved for more expensive laptops.
