I use the Kirabook primarily for photo editing with Lightroom while traveling. I like the Kira for its high resolution screen, light weight and decent battery life. What I don't like is its poor WiFi performance and screen lag while editing photos. The WiFi performance suffers greatly as the computer gets further away from the WiFi router. I had a 3 year old HP laptop that had much better WiFi range. When editing photos with the Kira I often notice a lag between a Lightroom adjustment and the resulting image being displayed in real time on the Kira. At times the lag can be one or two seconds. It definitely slow down the photo editing process. Too bad it has these two flaws; the Kira would be a five star performer without them.
