    I was looking for a reliable laptop but didn’t want to break the bank. I came across this laptop at a great value and purchased it. So far I can’t complain. The laptop is fast and holds a charge. I love the touch screen but would recommend a screen protector for all the finger prints. It’s light weight and has a large screen. I would highly recommend this laptop. It has a pin or fingerprint that you can set up so you have to enter a long password every time one and it has a switch to cover and uncover your laptop camera as well as a full number pad on the keyboard.

    Great great GREAT computer! I’ve had so many computers trying to get the best quality and best speed and the price was very affordable i spent $303( after tax) on a $400 computer when I’ve bought about 4 cheap laptops that added up to that amount anyway. It worked so well the following day my grandmother was convinced to buy one too! It has great 4k quality for watching videos and all in all it is a very good computer. My husband enjoys gaming and with this computer he’s also able to connect his controllers for Xbox ( it also came with a free Xbox game membership for a month) and pay his game at a better pixel quality!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED also has a really big screen. Downside, it does die after about I want to say an hour and a half but it charges up just as fast !

    This was one of the best values I've ever found on a laptop. This little guy is so fast and powerful that I can't believe it. Now, I'm not a power user or anything. I basically use it for web surfing, streaming video, video conferencing, etc. As soon as I power it on, it's ready to go. I have a 3 Gig fiber internet connection, and I use a wired connection through the USB C port. This guy is fast! I can easily have multiple tabs and applications open simultaneously, and I don't notice a drop in speed. I've had over 20 tabs and apps open without a drop in performance. The screen is beautiful. The mouse pad and keyboard are comfortable and responsive, and the webcam is good. I do use an external webcam though, as the built-in cam is just good, not great. I do frequent video conferencing and file sharing, and everything runs super smooth. I'm not a gamer, and I wouldn't recommend this as a gaming laptop. But for general daily use, I don't think there's a better value out there. This would be great for students and people doing everyday office work. Highly recommended!!

    i3 processor so you get what you pay for (in this instance, I was paying for a backup while Geek Squad had my primary laptop). For the price it got the job (digital media/writing) done. Quality graphics and display. Lightweight but so far it seems fairly durable. Would recommend as a first laptop or for an undergraduate.

    Perfect size and is lightweight. Thin sleek look. Easy to setup. Comes with S mode which doesn’t allow you to download just anything but can be easily switched out of that mode during setup process. I suggest doing that or else you are limited to what programs you can download. Overall great laptop for price.
