Just a little background, I decided to buy this over the newer 710 for several reasons:
- Lower price: the 700 was on clearance
- More USB ports: 2 vs 1 (later I found out that the DC power port is also a USB 2.0 port making it 3 vs 2)
- Built-In SD Card reader
- Intel Core m3 6Y30
- 8GB Ram
- 128GB SSD
- 11.6 inch touch screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution
- Windows 10 Home
Pros:
- Ultra-Portable size
- Boots in less than 10 seconds
- Loads apps in seconds
- Gorgeous Full HD IPS screen
- SSD and fanless design makes it completely silent (0 moving parts)
- m3 processor is power efficient allowing for hours of web browsing
- SDXC card reader (also reads standard SD and SDHC, as well as MMC)
- Micro-HDMI output (1.4a up to 1080p)
- Dual Band WiFi that supports 802.11ac
Middle of the road:
- 3 USB ports (1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, 1 USB 2.0/DC power port)
- Touchpad buttons makes a loud click when depressed
- Keyboard does not have a backlight for typing in dark areas
- With not much installed the SSD only has ~40GB left, so you may wish to spend a little more and get the bigger drive
- Relative to the size of the computer the touchpad is a good size
Cons:
- No Bluetooth
- Short ~6ft Power Cord (about the same length as the Apple MagSafe with the AC Plug not AC Cord)
- No divider on the touchpad to indicate where the buttons are, therefore you may think you are clicking when you are not
Other Thoughts:
- Initially had issues with Windows Store and its apps not working, but that was fixed with the latest Windows update
- CPU intensive tasks will take longer than the same generation i5
- Similar model 80QE000NUS has the following upgrades for roughly an additional $75:
- m5 6Y54
- 256GB SSD
- Bluetooth 4.0
- Haven't really used in tablet or tent mode yet, will update review if necessary
