    Not my cup of tea

    I recently bought this model in 15" 256g ssd and I just seemed to be missing something. After two days of use it became sluggish and the screen brightness would self adjust although I had it set to fixed. Battery life was good but not great and at the end of the day I feel this is really tailored towards students in a bright class setting.

    We wanted to stick with a Microsoft Surface as we already own the tablet. This laptop definitely met our expectations. I am now working from home and use it every day. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    My mom bought this exact laptop in March, both were open-boxed with BBY extended warranties. They are perfect, high quality laptops that I hope will last longer than the cheaply build Dells they had previously. This one is for my Dad for Christmas.

    Purchased to teach online classes

    I was forced to teach my classes online due to the Covid-19 virus and needed a new laptop and purchased this one. I must say that not getting to speak to someone in person might have helped and I have not been real happy with the computer so far. I have had issues with the computer freezing up while online and then having to close and restart everything. This is very frustrating and with support getting slammed O can't get in touch with anyone to help solve the issue. I do like the speed and light weight features. The jury is still out on this laptop though.

    All good. TV and surround sound system are excellent. Delivery was on time on the day they promised, and they handled complete set up of system, including wiring of wall mount for TV. Professional individuals, and were done in less than an hour.

    Feels like quality and functions great. Only issues is the battery does not come close to the advertised number. Would recommend as long as long battery life is not mandatory.
