Awesome laptop
Bought this 1 1/2 months ago. So happy. I picked the midnight blue. It looks so slick and classy and feels smooth. It’s a new one for me after almost 7 years of an Apple air, this one has the easy use touch button. Fast speed. Although I haven’t use it much, I’m just happy I bought it. Best Buy also did price matching quickly and easily. Very pleased.
