Lol,i dont like tat kind of touchpad buttons..always accidentally ter-click the wrong thing.Btw,wat do u mean by opening/closing the lid is not easy?
And PF T.J,how about comfortableness and do it feel good typing with that silver painted keyboard?How about those side by side shortcut keys?The notebook material and overall look?
Err... its hard to explain what its like, maybe you can take a look at photos of the touchpad buttons, the buttons are "integrated" into the palm rest, meaning that when you open the lid, there's a chance of pulling the touchpad buttons instead

(but may its just me being very rough haha)
I've always loved the Asus N series keyboard buttons.. they're large and comfortable to type on., and are quite accurate

The additional multimedia keys seemed "deliberately cramped" into the keyboard haha

Notebook materials: I'm not very impressed. Imho, glossy materials shouldn't be made available already (its a design of the past)- the lid is very easily scratched. The palm rest plastic seemed hollow, very awkward. Keyboard is nicely made but I'm not sure whether the silver color-ed paints will drop off or not in the long run.
Overall looks: This is very subjective haha. But I really don't like the design even though the specs are awesome. The screen is too thick, with an uneven silver frame surrounding it. Speaker grill holes are weird, some big, some small

Keyboard is okay, palm rest not okay haha...
Sorry if I'm a bit harsh.... I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed with this new batch of N series compared to the previous ones
