Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

It is challenging to purchase something more productive with a bigger display and a full-size keyboard given the deplorable conversion rate of the local currency. It turned out to be a pretty balanced computer after I replaced the old i5-3230 with a GF820m, added an 8GB memory bar to a free slot, and fitted a 500GB sata SSD.

Pros
  • 1. Reasonably priced compared to competition. 2. A productive processor, in my version of the 4300U, which beats the preceding 8 thread line by 20–30% thanks to its 4 cores and 4 threads. 3. Games with built-in graphics can be played at a reduced resolution and a console refresh rate of 30 frames per second. 4. There is a second memory slot; I added another 8GB for 2500R, making a total of 12 in dual; I provided two gigabytes for video; the 10GB that remain are sufficient for me. 5. The screen is really bomb, I don't see why everyone is criticizing it after TN screens of previous laptops. Of course, you can't sit in the sun outside, but inside is a great place to do so. 6. There is a card reader, which makes it easy to send pictures taken with my trusty 5100d camera. 7. Keyboard with a numeric keypad that is full size. 8. The time interval passed without the frequencies being lowered. Boost processor 3800 has a video core frequency of 1400 MHz, which is 100 MHz more than usual.
Cons
  • 1. If the laptop is not on a hard surface, quiet sound is preferred. Clarity and volume are lost, even on a table covered in a tablecloth, as the sound no longer reflects as it should. 2. Insufficient USB, despite their proximity. Of course, three USB ports are sufficient in most cases, but if you attach a thick flash drive, modem, or other device, the nearby port will be obstructed.
