I’m no laptop expert and just a highschool student (Senior) but this laptop is everything! I use it for both school and for work. I usually have more than 10 tabs open and this laptop performs so well it doesn’t slow down or overheat as much (depends on what you have open though). I like the touchscreen and finger print it’s nice. Really love the keyboard, very nice when typing and it’s not as loud when clicking on the keys. The only con I have is that it doesn’t have a backlight keyboard. Also I love how small and slim it is, at first it took awhile to get used to because my previous laptop was a 15.6” but in the end I prefer smaller laptops. Also great laptop to take around, light weight and doesn’t hurt my back. Sometimes I have to recheck if I actually brought my laptop because it’s doesn’t feel heavy. Would recommend!!

Got to admit I was impressed with the build and design of this laptop, it's solid - like a tank. I would have no hesitation for throwing this guy in a bag and GOing out. Screen is great, don't let the resolution or spec sheets scare you, gets plenty bright and is crisp - 3:2 ratio is an added delight and is perfect for productivity. I've read that text appears 'grainy' due to 'low resolution' and I completely disagree with both statements in my use. It does run a bit warm to touch, but it's not distracting with day to day light use. I will admit I saw a 2 - 4% drop in battery over 10 minutes browsing the web, nothing crazy and not viewing videos, which leads me to believe battery life won't be amazing. The Microsoft magnetic charger is a nice touch and is very much out of the way, wireless mouse will leave you with a very clean aesthetic. Fan noise was noticeable while charging and updating. Unplugged it's completely silent. Keyboard is another strong point of this device, very nice and comfortable to type which is probably the best I've ever encountered. Lack of backlight is what it is, and keeps this laptop from being an excellent value but really, unless you're used to working in dark rooms or looking for keys, it's not a big deal. Trackpad is perfect and another solid win. Can we talk about the speakers already? They're phenomenal. Way too good to be laptop speakers and loud. Not to mention, completely hidden within the keyboard somewhere. I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's magic. Performance was stellar for last year's 11th gen, you can do some light gaming and probably some video editing and photo work without too much of a headache. I've attached some Geek bench scores for your approval but it doesn't mean much to me, and if you're looking at this laptop I doubt you care or should care about specs. Overall this is a great laptop for the money. I wish it was closer to $500 but that's not my job. Portability and build quality are fantastic buying points here but keyboard/trackpad, screen and sound are amazing. This is the laptop I wish I had when I was in school and would suggest for anyone looking for an all arounder that just works. Look no further, and the sage color is really something too.
