I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Haven't tried toys. The advantages of a laptop cover all the inconveniences. VERY satisfied with the purchase. Has pros: The purchase was preceded by a careful selection. The laptop fully meets my requirements. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise that although there is an SSD drive, the laptop has a cable and a basket for installing an HDD, and the necessary hardware is included. Immediately added HDD. The second pleasant surprise - RAM consists of 4 GB soldered on the motherboard + 4 GB in the slot. Replaced 4 GB SODIMM with 16 GB and got 20GB. Sufficient for any task. Pleased with the delivery: delivered a day earlier than promised. Cons below: Not disadvantages but inconveniences: 1. I do not use Windows, but Linux, and I prefer to use not UEFI boot, but Legacy. The BIOS of this laptop only has UEFI mode. 2. In order for Linux to see the HDD, I had to do some magic: on the Main tab in the BIOS, press Ctrl + S to open additional options and switch the HDD mode to AHCI. Another secret: some BIOS options become available only after setting the administrator password.
