If you were like me, looking for a college laptop that would not break the bank, look no further. I am literally writing this review on this laptop in class.I just wanted a (Windows) laptop that I can code on and do a couple assignments while on campus. I never have to worry about the battery dying on me unless it was already really low. It is surprisingly fast but obviously not as fast as a $2000 laptop. Fast enough I would say.Right out of the box, I was instantly very surprised at how good quality everything felt and looked. It is actually pretty large in size but not cumbersome. But as I keep using it I do have some nitpicks about it:- The screen portion is pretty bendable to the point where I feel like you can easily break it. Now I don't know who would do that on purpose but you should watch out.- No backlight on keyboard makes it hard to see keys in low light.- Keyboard feels sort of hollow. Probably because it is cheap.- Fan is noticeably loud, say if the class is quiet. But I do prefer it to be cool and be a little bit loud than it be hot.- Fan ramps up randomly. Like I could have a simple assignment up with 2 tabs open and it could kick on for some reason even though the workload is not much. Then other times I have a bunch of tabs and another application open but it will stay silent.Other than that it is perfect if you need a cheap laptop to get some work done at school or code like me. Definitely recommend.

At first I was so excited to receive this laptop due to the massive amount of amazing reviews, however upon receiving this laptop I had already noticed some not great things.If you like big laptops this is definitely the one for you! I’m personally not a big fan of the size, it also wasn’t very slim. It was extremely difficult to fit in my laptop bag even though the bag was made for a 20 inch laptop such as this one. It’s very bulky in my opinion. When I turned it on it was already having issues. The noise from the fans is INSANE!!! If you want a quiet laptop for school I do not recommend this at all. It was super noisy. The other issue I had is that the computer was CONSTANTLY using half of the ram and due to the computer having 8gb of ram, that only left 4gb for anything else you need to do. Opening up browsers or really anything was super slow. It wasn’t easy to use at all. I ended up factory resetting it twice and it helped a little bit but not much. Pretty much the only thing that was good about this laptop was the keyboard. It was pretty nice and had a quiet sound. The laptops condition wasn’t great when I got it either. It had scratches in some areas. I ended up buying a refurbished dell laptop and it worked so much better.If you want to try this out for yourself go ahead, but I personally did not enjoy a second of the headache this laptop caused me. Returning wasn’t easy either and I found out this store is a third party store so the only way to return it is to print out the shipping label and wait for UPS to come by your house. You aren’t really given a time they will be there either and they definitely aren’t willing to work with you on it. So be prepared to stay home all day.On a good note it did come early!Edit: Forgot to mention, the computer comes on something called “S Mode” it basically blocks anything and everything that isn’t Microsoft based. So fun right!! No, I found a way to turn “S Mode” off but it’s a headache. I don’t recommend this laptop at all…
