- 83AVERAGE USER SCORE3 ReviewsEngadget Reader90December 28, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Great ultra portable. Fantastic keyboard, good display, VERY light, nice battery life. Speakers are (as should be expected) weak. I went with the cheaper i3 chip so HD video is possible, but you won't always have the best streaming HD experience, but works great for DVD and most other streaming video including Netflix. Extremely high recommendation. Best laptop I've ever used for the price ($560 new) as of late 2010). If you have the money, go for the i5 model. 3 USB ports, eSATA, DVD drive, HDMI, SD card reader, monitor out, ethernet plus 3.5mm headphone & mic jacks... very nice for how thin and light this thing is.Engadget Reader90April 16, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category. We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader70October 21, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The R705 is an interesting notebook because of the power that comes with it's size and weight. I wouldn't have minded if it weighed a little more and was made of metal instead of the plastic. Or at least stronger plastic with better engineering.
