CNET UK gave the U6S model a rating of 8.8 and keyed in on the laptop's distinctive design and features: "The U6S has a great keyboard. Unlike some laptops, it doesn't flex under force, which is a sign of good build quality. The mouse trackpad is equally comfortable to use, but the accompanying selector buttons are dire. They're extremely stiff and difficult to press—you'll need an external USB mouse or bionic fingers."
