Long term reliability an issue
Has a re-occuring issue where the presence of the battery can stop the system from powering up.
Overtime the mains power connector becomes loose and prone to accidental removal.. not an issue normally. If you are suffering from the above battery issue, you are likely to have removed the battery. Then the accidental removal of mains means instant power failure.
Eventual failure of the power connect can happen after about 1 year or so. So be careful if you are buying this second hand.
On the plus side the notebook is a joy to use, nippy for its size good keyboard and excellent screen. It's very light and portable.
