    The shiny reverse

    The grill on the rear of the keyboard will blow hot air at the drop of a hat, and is the biggest annoyance in an otherwise good device.

    The webcam sits below the Dell logo, and can make for interesting angles in laptop mode. When used in tent mode, the webcam placement is a lot better.
