A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

We needed an inexpensive laptop of small size (and, preferably, weight) for transportation to and from work, in order to have constant access to office applications, work with 2D and 3D graphics (medical images). The "native" Ubuntu preferred the Manjaro distribution, because. before launching, stripes on the screen constantly popped up (otherwise, there was a completely working system). The new OS was installed without any problems (even bluetooth was perceived as native), it has been working as intended for almost two months without any complaints. Copes even with the rendering of simple objects, though it starts to warm up faster. In fairness, I note that I try not to heavily load the system, tk. miracles from these parameters should not be expected. For my purposes, the laptop fit perfectly.

Pros
  • - small size, - relatively low price (most likely due to the lack of an OS, now even the average hardware is not cheap), - acceptable performance, - long operating time (on a single charge it can withstand four hours of web surfing and document processing; it can remain in standby mode for several days), - nice build quality - absolutely silent operation (see shortcomings). Matte screen (a matter of taste, of course, but I don’t like working with gloss).
Cons
  • - there really are no light indicators, I want to buy some kind of USB flashlight in order to understand that the power button has worked and now the launch will start; - the viewing angle of the screen is not the widest; - the lid is quite easily soiled, I had to glue it; - heats up quickly during intensive work, tk. no coolers (the downside of quiet operation). There is a microSD slot on the case, I would like to just SD, but this is, perhaps, nit-picking.
