I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

I have long wanted an analogue of the eee PC, but in a modern form. You need to understand that this laptop is only a tool. Best of all, it will suit techies, but it will also go on the road, and how an office worker can become, thanks to the HDMI connector. I did not install Windows on it, I installed q4os (a debian clone with Windows design), with the addition of some Windows applications under wine. All drivers picked up automatically, sleep mode and shutdown work fine. The processor is sometimes loaded, but its capabilities are enough for work, and the brakes are not felt, loading and shutting down are fast. Browsers on 4 gigs, unlike Windows, do not slow down, they fly. It may seem that 64 gigabytes is not enough, but . free 40 gigabytes after all, and I didn’t touch the partitions with UEFI and drivers for Windows, I used only unallocated 54 gigabytes. When the cable for the SSD arrives, yes, I will already install Windows. I won’t say about reliability, this will be shown by operation, but so far the attitude of the laptop is purely positive, despite the shortcomings.

Pros
  • Good battery, there is an RG-45 connector, it is possible to add an SSD, good passive cooling. Very handy size. Full 4 cores on the processor. At processor frequencies of about 70% of the maximum, it shows a work forecast for 7-8 hours, which is VERY worthy.
Cons
  • I would like more than 4 gigabytes of RAM, but you can’t add RAM (only if you decide to resolder it on the board in the workshop), although the processor holds up to 8. Only 2 USB connectors (not enough), the SD slot is made so that the memory card sticks out. Disk accesses and Caps Lock, Num Lock status are not visible. The plastic is good, but it also holds fingerprints well.
