Bought this laptop back in Summer of 2019 to replace my old laptop for the coming college school year. In the year I've had it, I am not impressed at all. I wanted a laptop to do watch Youtube, do schoolwork, and maybe play some light games, and while I got that, there are numerous drawbacks, as detailed below.Pros:- Good looking design. Looks nice and sleek.- The keyboard feels good, and is nicely spaced out. the only problems I have is that the arrow keys are a bit too close together, and the backspace is too close to the Num-Lock (both of which you can't really help on a laptop).- Can run light games decently well (get 30-40 FPS on Minecraft, maybe more on Terraria, and can run Civ 5 on low settings).- Relatively fast. The quad-core processor is nice for multitasking, but has some drawbacks as written below.Cons:- The first thing you'll notice about this laptop is the fan. Straight out of the box, this thing is loud as hell. Every time I open Chrome, it sounds like a jet engine is about to take off in my room. It's not too noticeable once you get used to it or put headphones in, but in a small and quiet classroom the people around you might take notice. That quad-core processor doesn't really seem worth it when every time I try to use it, my computer tries to take flight. Of course it does mellow out eventually, but it's annoying hearing it whine every time I open more than one program.- The battery life, dear God, is the worst thing about this laptop. It is just downright atrocious and extremely subpar. I can go maybe an hour and a half just watching videos on Chrome before I need to plug it in. My old laptop from the early 2010's could go at least 4-5 hours on its own. And of course the battery is built in, so you can't just easily replace it. And to make it all worse, in the inevitable case that you power this laptop on in the morning and it's low because you forgot to charge it, it'll turn itself off even if you plug it in before the battery runs out. I do use the regular battery life consumption settings, but it's embarrassing if this laptop can barely live off what's standard.- The design, while appealing to the eyes, is not exactly functional. My screen will get keyboard imprints on it, to the point where I wonder if I should even clean it because they're going to come right back. Also, the case around my screen has started to bend (as pictured). I am a student, and I do carry around my laptop in the same bag as my textbooks and binders, but still, this just shows a lack of sturdiness in the material. I feel lucky the display hasn't shattered yet. Again, my old laptop from 2013 has survived better already.- Startup time takes forever. It's really annoying when I start this thing up, late for my currently online class, only to have to wait 3-4 more minutes for this thing to decide to start working.- Sometimes the headphone jack will just refuse to work sometimes. I plug in my headphones and occasionally it'll just refuse to acknowledge it's there until I re-plug it in a couple times.- This is kind of a nitpick, but the stickers on the bottom and where your wrists go wear off really easily. But this may just be me.
