I received this as a christmas present last year, and i must say, it has been one of the most useful things i have ever owned. It's easy to transport around, although not the lightest laptop i have come across, and i can use it wherever i go. The screen is large and i don't think you would want it any larger, in fact it's the perfect size for a laptop. The lid is black, along with the base, and i find that it's easily marked by fingers however the silver keyboard and around the screen was great and the keys were a good size and clear to see, as were all the buttons. At the front of the laptop you could instantly mute the sound and the volume could quickly be adjusted
