Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! The reason that this computer is in my Had list shortly after release is because usability is terrible. The keys have little-to-no-travel. If you are looking anywhere other than the screen there is hardly any feedback you hit a key. It was the most disappointing experience I've had with a physical keyboard. Initially the screen color saturation and brightness made up for the issue i had with contrast and visible pixels. I won't comment up or down on the trackpad as my use of it was minimal, My Razer Orochi is my pointer control of choice when mobile. The trackpad, in brief use, was responsive for two finger scrolling and precise pointer control and slow to detect pinch-to-zoom. I was excited about this product. And was impressed by the design, number of ports, and system responsiveness. After a few hours use the awe from the build quality and screen brightness and saturation gave way to nagging poor contrast; combined with a terrible, cramped keyboard and storage claustrophobia it went back in the box. For casual users who want something more than a tablet can offer this computer is fine. If you plan to use the Vizio thin+lite as a main mobile machine for work travel, on-the-go photo editing and posting it is a absolute pass.While Vizio is widely regarded as a budget brand this is the best "first attempt" at an ultrabook IMHO. Vizio's offering comes free of bloatware/crapware, something every other WinPC maker gets wrong. If Vizio is responsive to consumer complaints I think the next iteration will be magnificent.
