This is a solid laptop for the price. Screen looks nice, has plenty of USB ports and a card reader. I keep it plugged in most of the time, so I like the fact the included Lenovo Vantage software let's you configure a setting that is good for long-term health of the battery (only charges it to 80 percent while plugged in) lessening wear on the battery. One thing to note about this laptop is that by default it is configured to use up 2GB of the 8GB memory for shared VRAM. This means you computer will only have 5.7GB of usable memory which is pretty low. But there is a way to increase this. If you are not playing games or doing video editing, you do not need 2GB of VRAM and are wasting the computer's memory. Therefore, the first thing I did was when booting the laptop, quickly press F2, which brings you into the BIOS settings. Select the "UMA frame buffer" setting and change this from 2GB down to 512MB. I now have 7.2GB of usable system memory instead of only 5.7GB which makes the laptop perform much better at non-gaming day-to-day tasks which is what this budget laptop is meant for.

I have a pc and it has been bogged down with lots of issues. Decided to get something for quick access. It's nice to boot this up and just go. I have a side job selling virtually and its nice to just pop this on to print out a label or something small without turning on the other beast. I like the touchscreen. I realize I don't know why I really wanted touchscreen as I sometimes forget it even has it, but its fun to used sometimes. It's really lightweight. The battery lasts nicely for low demand projects, but the charger works quick if you are doing some high demand. Will it run crazy games? no. But I have been using it for some games, and using the cloud system from xbox has worked really well. I am surprised at some of the games I can run cloud streaming on this. overall great for the price

The laptop works well for basic tasks like word processing, Excel, some gaming on steam (but don't get your hopes up trying to run a AAA game on this thing), and general daily use. Definitely a bigger computer than I'd usually go for but it's light enough that taking it in a backpack isn't an issue.
The touch screen is pretty good though I've only used it once to quickly draw a diagram on paint and don't intend to use it much.
This computer does have AI in the form of copilot backed into it which is a downside for me but it's easy enough to disable if it's not what you want to use either.
I had to upgrade because my previous laptop no longer supported the current version on Windows and this is a perfectly fine replacement if you need to upgrade to current tech and don't want to spend too much.
