This is NOT a budget laptop!

This is the best laptop deal you can get, period. Touch screen? nope This feature is stupid in a laptop in my opinion. When using the keyboard, accidental touches on the screen will change focus or switch to other screens - the touchscreen is a gimmick and annoying. The screen of this laptop is worth the price in itself. Beautiful, the black is actually black, it competes with my AOC desktop gaming monitor. The Ryzen chip inside can be overclocked if desired, but it doesn't have to be. It's fast enough for a laptop. This is configured to add memory and disk. Do it like this. I spent another $50 to add a 1TB drive and 8GB memory card. Other than that, I have the same specs as a $700 consumer laptop. games? I'm streaming from the desktop, everything is fine. Modern games won't run at more than low settings (if they do), but you don't need to run them on board if you have a slot machine. DO NOT BUY THIS TO PLAY ONBOARD GAMES. Streaming via Steam is perfect. Buy it for $300, spend an extra $50 or $100 on memory and storage, and then sit back and realize you got a top-notch laptop for 1/3 the money that spend people for nothing. The build quality is bomb. . Everything is solid, nothing rattles, no play. Others tore the touchpad apart - I can't tell it apart from another laptop's touchpad. He doesn't hang around, responds as usual, with no problems. The screen is GORGEOUS and way better than laptops that are 2 or 3 times the price. I like the shrunken number pad on the right. If you don't use 10 keys, this is what you need. The keyboard backlight stays on while you're typing and turns off when you're not typing. Perfectly configured. It loads in about 15 seconds. It has a certain weight, but is still very light. It's hard to describe, but you can carry it in your backpack all day and not even know it's there. The power supply is about the size of a Toblerone tube. I plan to buy another one for travel. It'll function like a consumer laptop like I said, but add some memory and a hard drive and you're CRAZY. I can't sing his praises. Buy this, add a drive and memory card, and you've got a top-of-the-line laptop for under $400. And you get a better screen too. And anyone can do it, it's not difficult at all. If you can twist a screwdriver, you can upgrade this machine. Be sure to go into S mode and turn it off. Activate Windows first, then go to the Store and turn off S mode. This is way better than what other companies offer as a budget laptop.
