      saur good

      Got this for myself as an early christmas gift! I love it so far! (but then again i haven’t had it long haha) One thing i have noticed is that the battery drains fast and is completely dead after like 6 hours of continuous usage so do with that information what you will. Apart from that, I think it’s worth it for the cheap price point!
