Hello,
when I type in a 50 page document (almost full of mathematical formulas)
the
performance is good, if I however type some text at the end of the full user
manual, you will notice a considerable delay and I would consider the
performance bad. Also take in account that the battery live is about 2.5
hour. If you are really worried about performance I would consider the Sony
ultralights but they come at a heavy price tag
