I was looking for a UK keyboard laptop whilst living in Germany, to be used for general home office work and some light gaming on the go (e.g. WoW).

Pros:
- Laptop looks good, quite slim and stylish
- Reasonably priced overall considering the pretty sizeable SSD, RAM, and decent integrated graphics with Iris

Cons:
- Prone to some quiet high pitched noises when idling, fan is just a touch louder than I expected
