- Discusses the S145-15AST, a model with a low-priced AMD A4-9125 processor. -Ultimate cost (with a 14-thousand-dollar discount) Lightweight (I have a netbook next to it and it weighs almost as much) Cool design with narrow screen bezels (very rare in budget laptops); does not overheat (well-thought-out cooling eliminates the possibility of overheating, even when used on the bed; heat is removed into the clearance of the casing under the screen). Built-in solid-state drive (SSD) and AMD solution (Intel has poor CPUs in this price bracket; this one is twice as fast for the same price; overall performance on Windows 8.1 is quite fast). -Adequate display (often considerably worse on laptops in this price range).
- -No, not with Windows 10 (you should splurge for this operating system; otherwise, performance will suffer; for best results, get a Ryzen 3 with 8 GB of RAM; see below for information on installing a previous version of Windows). -YouTube will be slow if you use a normal codec (workaround below). Therefore, extra labor and effort are needed for speedy results. Poor speaker quality for its size.
