Sure, but other windows ultrabooks will do 8 to 11 hours of battery life. Unless I really want Linux, or don't need battery life, there is no reason to buy this. Even the MBP has slightly better battery life.

I can't think of anything legal that would net you 7% a week in a remotely safe manner. He has been going for a while now and only recently reduced his interest rates, so it may go on until there aren't enough new people signing up anymore.

When I search for something on DDG, I generally find one or two good results somewhere in the first set and all the rest are spammy/junk sites that repost content from other larger sites or just poor quality results. DDG also doesn't unders

I don't know of one, and doubt one exists, but I would love for someone to show me that I am wrong. If you just want to do the occasional comparison, AnandTech has a great Bench page: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/2

It looks like LinkedIn plus fancier messaging. I can't imagine a case where I would prefer to open a PDF from an email or go to another site rather than directly read an email though.

The pricing page needs larger prices. It took me a few seconds to actually locate the price for each plan. The titles / list of what you get at each price point don't fit the site style and are not pleasing to read because of the font / all
