The quality is terrible and the product is not what it says it is.

The cooling system is at rest 55 degrees, it works continually, buzzes and whistles even when the laptop is not loaded, and we hear it very well as soon as we turn on the laptop with a highly unclear power button. We remove the laptop's legs (there are screws hiding under them) and pry open the case's many secure latches. Inside the case, we find a loose bolt or screw (why it didn't rattle is unclear), what appears to be sand-like thermal paste, and a protective film that should have been glued around the perimeter of the processor chip but was instead glued to HALF of the processor CRYSTAL, resulting in terrible overheating. As icing on the cake, we also find a screw that secures the radio module board that is longer than n screws. I sorted out the screws and the cooling system, and now it's a thousand times quieter and the fan turns off when it's not needed (by the way, there's a setting in the BIOS that prevents the fan from turning off, and you can change it).

Pros
  • Benefits: - Faster processing - Full complement (two RAM slots, one SSD slot) Keyboard illumination Weight Size and quality of the display
Cons
  • Concerning performance, the CPU cooler was not made to accommodate such a powerful processor. The power button is the least identifiable part of the device; the keyboard's characters are unreadable because the illumination is too bright; Surprisingly robust battery life for such a compact laptop
