The purchase brought only positive emotions.

This is the best laptop you can get for the money, therefore I've chosen to write a review for the first time. You can get an Acer or HP for that amount, but the design is hideous, and the screens have massive bezels and a limited pixel expansion. We only have Full HD instead of IPS, but that's fine for me. Although it is unrealistically helpful, the screen's matte finish allows for clear visibility even when exposed to sunlight. Because of its matte texture, smudging the screen is next to impossible. The keyboard is silent, and it responds quickly. While working in pairs, I am able to carry on a conversation without the instructor overhearing. Thinking about it now, you could always add another 4GB of Memory, just in case. The battery life of the laptop is really swanky. My friends laughed at me when I said that I could use my laptop for six hours straight (while sitting in front of the screen, listening to music, chatting with others, and working on my schoolwork), but when I brought it to class fully charged in the morning, I had enough juice for four people to surf the web simultaneously. The SSD is on the small side, but you won't find anything better for the price. I purchased a 1TB external hard disk to address this issue. You can play games on the laptop if you like, but it was not designed for that purpose. You have around 2.5–3 hours of playtime. The computer is extremely low in noise and generates almost little heat. Only this browser has issues with the touchpad; others work fine. The browser isn't optimized for the touchpad's sensitivity. Personally, I enrolled for academic reasons, as my line of work necessitates the use of a computer, and the ones provided by the institute are often somewhat dated. When weighing the benefits and drawbacks, there is no better laptop available.

Pros
  • Display, Processing Speed, Layout, Usable Time, Input Devices, Sound Level, and Working Environment
Cons
  • Even if the lack of a backlit keyboard is a drawback, I can live without the extra port.
