    At this moment I have only two series contenders left on my shopping list, though both are not really available at the moment in the UK, the Asus Zenbook ux330 (i7) and Lenovo Ideapad 710s.

    The Ideapad is a bit of an odd one. There are hands on reviews as far back as January, some very positive reviews from around the middle of the year, and then nothing. Lenovo lists it as 'coming soon' on their UK website, and there is no direct link to http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/ideapad/700-series/710s/. Some Korean Ebay sellers apparently offer it with Kaby Lake processor, and it seems to be available from two shops at least in Germany. What is going on with this notebook?

    And apart from that: is it any good? Are there any actual owners out there who can tell me what you think of it, and especially of the battery and keyboard. Is memory and harddisk expendable/exchangeable?

    Thanks a lot.

    Just bought one today to replace my sold iPad Pro 12.9.. Loving it so far. About to create a thread on it. I have the new Kaby Lake i5 model.. it's surprisingly faster than expected. Seems to equal the performance of the outgoing i5-6200U Skylake while being a 4.5 watt cpu. I tried to remove the bottom panel to gain access inside but it wasn't budging afteri removed the screws.. Didn't want to force anything but it would appear the m2 is standard slot and we should be able to replace that.. but not sure on the memory part.
