Specs on paper looks promising.
I would definitely buy it since the specs are decent (probably light to medium gaming) and its light weight adds to portability. I would love to own light laptops.

Yeah..I agree that manufacturers should beef up the display:
(1) Higher resolution, perhaps 1600x900 on 14"
(2) IPS technology

Maybe what's holding them back is the IPS uses more power? Can't confirm this.

Does the model come with non-touch screen option?
