  • The best economical choice in the market....for reading, music, videos, cooking, movies, etc. It is top-notch...the viewing angle is a bit off but oh well..the basic requirement for the laptop to work smoothly is a pair of 16GB RAM...because with the 4GB it comes with, it tends to lag in many places since the graphics card only uses around 2.5GB of it...so I got myself a pair of 2x8GB RAM at 3200 and paid 33 euros and the laptop truly transformed into a perfect machine...I know I didn't discover America* as many others have written about it before but I can confirm it myself regarding the RAM...which can be easily changed with a screwdriver and a plastic card...find a relevant video on YouTube...

  • Economical but of very low quality.
    2. Starting with the negatives as they are more numerous:
    1. The worst screen I have ever seen. The viewing angles are... basically non-existent. You can only understand what you're seeing from one angle. All others have terrible color distortion.
    2. The battery is at very low levels even with simple office 365 tasks and headphone use. Heavy use of 4 hours with teams and headphones/microphone.
    3. The construction is in shambles, wherever you touch it creaks or the plastic goes inside (especially the screen cover).
    4. If you fall on the model with the 3150U processor and 4gb ram you will struggle even with basic applications as with 2 chrome/edge pages and an excel it has finished ram-cpu. 8 gb ram is necessary.
    5. Slow charging. Mainly intended for plug and play use.

    Positives:
    1. Price.
    2. Appearance (looks more premium than it is at least until you hold it in your hands).

  • One of the best laptops available on the market at a cheap price! Very fast speeds, you can upgrade to Windows 11 for free, the battery is very good, the image is perfect, it's worth the money if you want a very good laptop at a low price!
