Perfect fit for me - hopefully stays that way

I haven't seen many reviews for this particular processor/model. I've been using this laptop for work from home for about a week now, which means I leave it plugged in to my desk and on for over 8 hours a day while I work with spreadsheets and email clients. Numerous reviews of the i5-10210 processor mention terrible fan noise and poor audio quality, but I didn't experience any of these issues with the i5-1035G1. The fan turns on sometimes when I'm not using the laptop much, but it doesn't run for long and isn't very noisy. I watch training videos on my laptop and am very happy with the audio and video quality. For the record, I had an Asus i3 laptop for nine years before I got this one, so my claims are pretty low because my old one was much heavier, bulkier, slower, etc. Still, it seems fantastic for what I need. doing this mainly to ease my work from home experience. As it has only been a week, my experience is limited. So if anything goes wrong I will update my review. Fingers crossed. **EDIT** November 18, 2020: Still a great laptop. No questions!

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
