The product is worse than ever, disappointed with the purchase.

Do not buy this rubbish under any circumstances. This is not a product, but a scam. You will waste time and money trying to get it back. The manufacturer deliberately worsened all the parameters of the netbook in order to discourage users from looking for cheap working laptops. Memory - only one channel, will not work in dual-channel mode. upgrading to at least the minimum 8 GB required for win10 is impossible. The disk is a poor ten-year-old Toshiba - independent replacement with ssd is impossible, replacement in the SC is impossible - the form factor will worsen the cooling from ssd and you will burn the laptop in two to three months. The processor is a senseless overpayment for a new percentage, which will not work with such memory and such a disk. Any running user process loads the CPU by 50-60%. The touchscreen is a meaningless element that doubles the cost of the system with such performance. You will not be able to quickly get a laptop and read a couple of pages in a transport or at a lecture in tablet mode - everything will happen with terrifying slowness and productive work will take no more than 15-20% of the total time that this squalor will serve itself. The battery is powerful and long-playing in terms of parameters, but with such brakes, what difference does it make to you how long the laptop can "work" with a system ate hung for three hours or a browser launch that takes 20 minutes. In all respects, the laptop is worse than the Asus netbooks of a decade ago.

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
