The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

One of my friends asked me to deal with this laptop. The configuration is extremely unbalanced. Why is there Win10 x64? Under it, at least 8GB is needed, and 2GB is no further than Win7. The autoload included a menagerie that sawed the disc in black.
Solution:
- a new memory module DDR3L 4Gb 1600MHz - 2350.
- replacement of HDD with SSD 240GB - 5720.
Total: 8070.
- as well as removing a dozen extra progs.
Result: OS boots in 40 seconds! Everything just flies. Otherwise, this thing is only for collecting dust on the shelf.

Pros

- Compact, - not black, like everywhere else, but blue, - light enough for a beech, - pretty decent screen.

Cons

Performance below the plinth, alas! Win10 x64 cold boot time with 2GB RAM, HDD is about 5-7 minutes. At the same time, the HDD cannot calm down for a long time, something is thrashing, in the result of clicking on the browser - there is no answer. Second, third. After 10 minutes, 3 copies of the browser pop up. Which is very tight. It is impossible to work normally with such a beech! Weaknesses: memory, too heavy AXIS, hard drive can't handle swaps. There aren't any light bulbs. What he does is unknown.
