### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I'd hoped
*by K***N on December 21, 2019*

I was looking for a laptop to replace my 8yo behemoth. My criteria were: lightweight, 8gb RAM, 64gb+ SSD, 1080p, with a full-sized HDMI port (no mini), Windows OS. I wanted it mostly for web browsing, word processing, and some fairly light gaming (modded Minecraft, Java version). After about a month, I am so far satisfied with this computer for all of those tasks.In fact, it surpassed my expectations in regards to gaming. I expected that it would be incapable of running more than a couple of mods, but so far it's taken everything I've thrown at it. I have not overclocked the processor (intentionally, anyway - perhaps windows does it automatically now?), and as such am operating at the stock 2.3Ghz (I think).I was slightly worried about purchasing this due to the reviews that commented about the screen quality/viewing angles. However, I am happy to report that I have not had any issues with screen visibility or warped edges. Perhaps I am simply plebian in my tastes, but it looks fine to me.It came with Windows 10 S, which I certainly did not want, but it was perfectly easy to disable.The backlit keyboard is honestly a lifesaver. I hadn't specifically sought out this feature, but it's fantastic. It comes with various brightnesses instead of a toggle, which frankly is unnecessary because the lowest setting is plenty bright. However, as mentioned in other reviews, it does cause a significant hit to battery life (or so it seems).The battery life is my only quibble, but admittedly, I believe that's mostly due to my usage rather than the machine itself. I have multiple Chrome tabs running at all times, as well as Visual Studio Code, and frequently Minecraft as well. At this level of usage, the battery lasts on average 2-3 hours. I haven't timed it though, so that is simply an estimate on my part.All in all, I am much happier with this $300 laptop than I was with my old laptop, which 8 years ago was twice the price. No doubt you can find better performance with a higher budget, but if you are tight on money, I highly recommend this device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect for college students
*by J***Z on August 25, 2019*

looking for a great affordable laptop that can be used for school and personal use? This is the one. It took like like 4 days to settle on what laptop to buy but I finally figured out this one would be it. There's not much youtube video reviews about this laptop but it is worth buying. Even if you aren't going to college, this is a great laptop for personal use. The backlit keyboards are a life saver for late night usage. The only problem (not the laptop itself) is windows 10, it took a while to install chrome because it was only allowing me to use Microsoft Edge browser but I figured it out it got chrome. If you need any help with this, just reply to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great laptop for the price.
*by H***I on December 31, 2019*

I knew in purchasing the laptop I'd need to make immediate upgrades. I didn't need the best processor as all my work is done online, but do open multiple taps and email all day long. I added 8 gb RAM and 500 gb SSD, which should be plenty for me, so overall $80 in upgrades that add to the cost of the laptop. Still cheaper than a stronger processor laptop that I'd pay $100+ more for and still end up upgrading memory and storage. Boot time is lightning fast and so far everything responds as it should during work. Upgrading was super easy. There is a space for an extra hard drive, but no connector or caddy so those will have to be purchased separately, adding on another $20 to the cost. If you have a hard time finding the right connector and caddy to fit, I purchased the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PDZ4DGF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, which ended up fitting fine but the screws are loose holding the drive to the caddy and it is only friction holding it in place in the empty hard drive slot. It is a good tight fit so it is fine for my use, which is mostly work at home, very rarely taking my laptop out of the home to work away. Overall I spent around $450 for a decent processor and plenty of memory and storage.I'm not sure how the screen would do in a real world setting. It is fine at home where I can keep it angled correctly on my desk, the keyboard has a good feel to it, not cramped and I'm hitting the right keys so the layout is what I'm used to on my Logitech home keyboard. Mouse pad so far is responsive, which can be a problem in most of my previous laptops. I like the fingerprint reader, which makes starting up that much quicker. Easy to switch out of S-mode. I used last night off the charger for the first time and I forgot to check the time on the battery, but it was not impressive. The laptop itself is nice and lightweight so carrying it my laptop bag shouldn't be cumbersome.Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this laptop with the upgrades noted above. Would not recommend unless you are planning on upgrading. It worked fine before the SSD upgrade (upgraded memory right out of the box), but once you start saving anything you'll quickly run out of room leaving no room for temporary files on your primary drive. At the very least you'll need to add a 250 GB drive if you want to store anything on your hard drive.
