This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Almost a month and...
The initial round of this laptop is - temperamental. It was fantastic until a little over a week ago. The keyboard illumination started sticking to 'off' no matter what. The display brightness did weird things and then went all retro-manual on me, and the wifi started dropping every few minutes. What it seems like (to me) is a short manifested somewhere.

Until the above happened I loved it. If they're on a three month production cycle maybe these issues will be addressed in July, 2013.

Four Stars!

I can tell you it' thin, it's light, it's fast, it's beautiful, tough-seeming, and the keyboard action is a tiny bit 'hard stop' at the end.

What I was looking for:

Ultrabook with bad WiFi? Seriously?
This is my first review, and I didn't even buy the laptop from Amazon. I got it from BestBuy for the same price. But I'm returning it after having used it for almost 2 weeks now. I like everything about about it...almost. I really really want to just keep this and stop wasting so much time shopping for laptops, but after trying to justify it to myself and saying, oh, it's not that bad, maybe I can learn to live with it.....I have finally made the decision that for $1300, this thing better deliver and make me glad to own it.
