    Mi hanno creato molti problemi e ho perso il lavoro e in pi qualsiasi dispositivo inviatomi elettronico portava un difetto. Tant’ che ero molto scocciata dei resi. Aggiungo che mi hanno detto che i prodotti che costano meno a differenza di uno da mille normale non vadano. Ma che affermazioni sono? Innanzitutto non siete tecnici. Avevo un problema di wifi che cadeva continuamente solo da questo PC e mi hanno detto di ripristinare la rete e dopo il ripristino non si vedeva pi il segnale wifi. Ho richiamato e mi hanno detto che i driver vanno chiesti ma come faccio se non mi riesco pi a collegare e poi il problema che costa poco. Non cos. Non ho preteso mari e monti ma le cose base devono funzionare. Se io compro un cellulare come mi successo e l’audio assente non puoi dare la colpa al costo e al cliente. L’audio deve funzionare. Oppure se mi dici una cosa che mi fa trovare in difficolt non da fidarsi. Anche noi andiamo su internet e risolviamo. Questo il punto ma uno si confronta essendo che non siamo tecnici informatici. Esperienza assurda. In poche parole per tanti resi ho perso il lavoro. E in pi colpa del costo. Allora perch li vendete? O sapete che portano un difetto gi alla base? Il PC perfetto se non fosse per una assistente che mi ha fatto rimanere senza collegamento dandomi info non appropriate e non avvisandomi che dovevo ricercare i driver
    Si chiamano danni al cliente. Ormai me lo devo risolvere da sola ma pessima esperienza.

    I am really pleased with this laptop from LincPlus – It is much better than I expected for the money.

    The case is all metal and it feels like high quality. It can be upgraded, so I popped in a 512GB SSD and it made a huge difference. It wasn’t too difficult to upgrade.

    Updating MS Windows took a couple of hours – but I blame MS for that – Microsoft’s Windows Update servers are really slow. I’ve never been able to get a fast update no matter how fast my CPU is or how fast my (200mbps) broadband connection is.

    The screen is perfectly sharp and the colors are vivid – no dead pixels.

    I think this laptop is perfect for travelling light and doing simple tasks like Word processing or browsing. Obviously, you can’t do any intensive processor work because it’s not a heavy duty workstation.

    For the money, you can’t go wrong. Love it!

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

    PRODUCT: LincPlus P2 14″ Slim Metal Laptop with Windows 10, Intel Celeron N3350 4GB RAM 64GB eMMC Storage Upgradeable by SSD, Full HD Fanless Quiet Notebook (ASIN: B08Y5VXL32)

    QUICK RATING

    Internal, Expandable Drive with M.2 NVME drive.
    Build Quality is Very Good
    USB-C Connection is Full Power, DATA + HDMI
    Fanless = Quite
    Realtek WiFi AC/Bluetooth 5 (Worked Perfectly)
    Ran Smoothy Under Normal Computing Pressure
    Intel APU/CPU 3350 Only Uses 6 watts
    Long Battery Life
    Keyboard is strong with almost no flex
    Windows 10
    Fully Functional USB-C Port (Power/Data/HDMI)

    4GB RAM
    Internal Drive is eMM Type Memory, which is not blazingly fast (normal for budget note books).
    Internal drive is only 64GB, but this is typical at this price point.
    APU/CPU is now 5 years old (but still very capable).
    Keyboard letters are screen printed/decals and not double shot.
    Off button is next to DEL button.
    Heavy vs. other portable, aluminum laptops.

    OVERVIEW
    The LincPlus notebook performance was snappy and I didn’t notice any slowdowns during normal testing (see below) due to only 4GB RAM. With fast boot disabled, it took about 53 seconds to boot into the desktop.

    The screen was bright enough to see clearly indoors under fairly bright lighting.

    You can upgrade internal drive space with an M.2 drive. The expansion port is on the bottom and easily accessible using two screws.

    Wireless + Bluetooth Chipset is Realtek and supports BT 5.0 and WiFi up to the AC specification. Everything connected perfectly and the wireless connection worked well, giving me full down and upload WiFi speeds for my plan: 120Mbps down and 6Mbps up.

    This is a Windows 10 Notebook. Windows 10 runs in “S” mode, but it is easy to convert Windows to the full Windows 10 operating system. I did not test the notebook using the full Windows 10 option. Once you convert to the full version of Windows 10, you cannot go back to “S” mode. (“S” mode just means that Windows has limited functionality in order to create a safer computing experience. For instance, you can only install applications from the MS store, and you cannot use the Command Prompt.)

    DETAILED DISCUSSION

    INTRO
    The LincPlus budget note book gets a lot of things right, and nothing really wrong. You’re getting a low power APU, which uses the Intel Graphics 500 chip. That in itself isn’t a bad deal, however. Just be aware of what you are getting.

    What you’re getting a well built, but lower power budget notebook with a small screen, and 14″ isn’t much! The notebook came with Windows Desktop scaling mode at 150%. That further decreases what you can expect to get on the screen.

    If you need an ultra portable notebook for emails, web work, business applications, light video editing, 1080p Amazon/Netfliks movies at 1080p, and light graphics work, then the LincPlus offering is a solid choice. However, the all metal chassis, being extremely solid, is also heavy for this class laptop.

    OVERALL PERFORMANCE
    In order to test the notebook under a normal computing environment, I loaded the LincPlus notebook with the Microsoft Video Editing app using two 1080p video files, one 100MB and the other 156MB. I then instructed the program to combine and convert the files into 720p format at average quality.

    While that task was running, I had MS Edge opened with 8 tabs, all with information in them, such as Youtube, online news agencies, and the Yahoo stock site. I also opened a large 1440 image (about 12MB in size) in the Paint program. I then opened several office tools, such as a spread sheet. Note that the spread sheets and other office tools did not have anything in them, such as a large database of information. I also had WiFi connected and was streaming online Bluetooth music to my amplifier.

    The video conversion was running the entire time, and completed the task fairly quickly. I didn’t time it, but since I could still work in the back ground, it was no big deal. (If you are looking for full video editing capabilities, you probably aren’t looking at this note book anyway.)

    Windows 10 did an excellent job of managing RAM. I never had less than 17% – 25% available, and didn’t notice any slowdowns while using my psudo-oriented “normal” business test. I didn’t notice any slowdowns while I watched YouTube Videos and did other normal computing things, like writing an email.

    SCREEN
    I rant he screen at full brightness and had no problems wit it. I a well lit room, using ambient light and natural window light in mid afternoon, the screen was bright and crisp.

    SSD
    The internal storage is what is called “eMM” memory, which is like a fast SD card. For instance, an internal SSD using normal SSD memory, using the SATA protocol, will usually be around 450 MB/s read and write. I tested the internal drive using Crystal Diskmark with 244 MB/s read and 100MB/s write. Not blazingly fast for a SSD, by any stretch. However, even writing at 100 MB/s is fast for most needs.

    That’s fast enough you won’t see any slowdowns when you run out of RAM (if you do) and start hitting the page file. Remember, also, that opening programs and starting Windows is a READ mostly operation, so you’re getting 250MB/s performance when you start Windows, or when you start programs. Also, since you can upgrade internal memory to a fast M.2 drive, you can tell Windows to use that drive as the page file drive.

    SSD INTERNAL EXPANSION
    You can add an internal M.2 drive by removing two screws on the bottom. However, the LincPLus doesn’t use PCIe for the disk BUS. Rather, it uses the older SATA standard with a maximum read and write speed of 600MB/s. Just be aware of that if you purchase an M.2 drive, as you don’t need the most expensive and fast M.2 drive.

    BATTERY
    Battery power streaming 1080p YouTube video full screen with the monitor at 100% brightness was approximately 5 hours. After recharging the battery to 100%, I opened a YouTube video at 1080p with the screen at full brightness, and let it run. The video finished and went to the next YouTube video automatically at 720p, but not full screen. After 2.5 hours of continuously streaming YouTube video at 720p and 1080p, Windows reported battery life was still 56% or another 2.6 hours. That’s over 5 hours of streaming video playback.

    CONCLUSION
    The all metal shell and overall build quality is solid and the notebook feels nice in my hand and does not feel cheap, at all. The keyboard has almost no flex in it, for instance. In spite of having only 4GB of RAM, doing normal business tasks and browsing, and light video editing –at the same time–I didn’t notice any slowdowns. The internal drive space is expandable using two screws on the bottom, and your own M.2 drive.

    Overall, I was impressed with the LincPlus’ performance and quality, especially for the price. In short, it is a well built and capable notebook, especially for the price.

    Excellent Build Quality, Long Battery Life, and Snappy Performance

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI will start out by saying that I am not a fan of the small light weight laptops.
    This laptop is an excellent choice for those that need to work online, processes documents or are generally doing low demand work. It is not a high performance gaming machine! It is simple to use, small and while light weight it does not give a cheep feeling.
    It utilizes a mobile processor and memory so the memory is not upgradeable but you can add extra storage. When opening up the storage slot I expected to find a drive already installed, what I found was an empty slot allowing me to add any size SSD. No need to reinstall windows as the operating system is retained on an eMMC drive that is built in.
    This is basically a Chromebook that runs Windows and actually lets you have some local storage. A perfect option for those already using a Chromebook but in need of Windows specific software!
    On first boot, after getting Windows fully set up, I found the internal 64 Gigabyte drive was about 50% used leaving little space for personal files of any size(which is why the expandable SSD slot is a great addition!) It is shipped with very little “bloatware” which greatly reduced my setup time and kept it running smooth and relatively fast. I did find that it has multiple language MS Office preinstalled, which I assume the system will delete the unneeded language packages after completing the installation of MS Office. I uninstalled MS Office because I don’t need it on this PC and freed up a ton of space.
    My biggest complaint on this PC is the super large mouse pad. When typing my palm is forever moving the mouse around ad sometimes clicking on things. This is more of a “me” issue than one with the PC.

    You get what you pay for! However a good machine for the money. Works well with usb drives to boost memory and pretty fast considering the spec. Don’t drive it too hard and it will be an efficient additon to a computer collection. If you wnat some grunt as a first laptop with CPU hungry applications then this machine would struggle.

    I purchased this on offer at just under 200, which is astonishing for a Macbook-Air like aluminium-body 14″ laptop with Windows 10.

    The Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) install appears to be genuine and is free of any additional bloatware from LincPlus (though still has the usual Microsoft-provided rubbish).

    The supplied charger is a 12v 2A barrel plug wall-wart unit, but the laptop’s USB-C port does support charging of the laptop with a suitable USB-C power supply. My 45W and 65W Dell units work fine with it. I don’t think it would work with a 5V-only USB-C charger. I couldn’t get charging to work through a USB-C hub with passthrough charging support; but the hub itself worked fine.

    Note that the product image showing the port layout on each side is incorrect. The left side has (in this order, back to front); USB-C, Micro-HDMI and USB-A. The right side has DC power, 3.5mm TRRS, USB-A and Micro SD.

    The built-in 64GB SSD is roughly half full with the standard Windows 10 installation. The extra (SATA only) m.2 slot is easily accessible for additional space; I’ve thrown a used 180GB drive in there to dual-boot Linux.

    Incidentally, this laptop plays nicely with Linux. All devices appear to work fine without additional configuration.

    The 4GB of RAM is listed in the BIOS as two 2GB banks of LPDDR4 @ 1600Mhz.

    There are no fans at all, so the unit is completely passive and silent. It does not get particularly warm.

    Performance in Windows 10 is just barely acceptable for single-tasking; web browsing, watching 1080P YouTube, etc. I purchased this for coding in VSCode, which it handles fine. You will find yourself regularly waiting a couple seconds for it to catch up. The CPU is most definitely showing its age and budget classification.

    Zorin Lite performs fairly well on it, having lower system requirements.

    You’re not going to be gaming on this. Quake 3 Arena just about runs smoothly on it.

    The keyboard has a great layout; full size arrow keys, dedicated Paging/Down/Home/End keys and relatively few odd placements (for example, the pipe and backslash being fn-overlay keys on z and x respectively). The power button is part of the keyboard, which doesn’t personally bother me. I haven’t pressed it by mistake.

    The typing action is okay; not great. The keys have a fair amount of travel but require quite a lot of force to activate, so it takes some getting used to (from something like an Apple chiclet keyboard). It is possible to fully depress a key and not have it actually activate; for example, if you hit an edge or corner. The effect is that the keyboard feels slightly unreliable. Being a little more aggressive with key-presses resolves this.

    The trackpad is nice and large. Windows identifies it as a ‘Precision Touchpad’. The tactile buttons underneath require more force than most, so it’s another thing to get used to. The surface is ever so slightly tacky, so my fingers don’t move quite as smoothly as they could.

    Battery life is not as advertised. The ’10 hour’ value is a fantasy. I allowed the machine to idle on the desktop with 50% screen brightness and wifi on, for which it lasted just under 7 hours. I suspect if you left it to idle in flight mode with minimal brightness you could achieve 10+ hours; but that would be a completely pointless exercise. If you actually intend to use your laptop, typical real-world duration seems to be 3-6 hours, which is not great for this class of device but not awful. As noted, battery life seems to be better in Linux (Zorin Lite) than Windows 10; but results will likely vary wildly between distros and usage.

    The screen is pretty much what I expected; a decent matt-finish 1080P unit that doesn’t get particularly bright and has poor accuracy out of the box, with a noticeable blue/green tint. However that’s easily resolved using Windows’ built-in calibration tool; just taking the blue/green levels down slightly to achieve a better balance.

    My panel does have a very odd defect that is only visible on black and dark-grey backgrounds; a two-inch oval patch of slightly red sub-pixels; as if they aren’t quite capable of entirely blocking the backlight. It’s not really a problem for my use case and took me a while to notice; but definitely a defect – one that I’ve never encountered before.

    Aside from that there is almost no backlight bleed and no ‘typical’ pixel defects evident.

    The webcam is good enough to use. The speakers are not. The 3.5mm headphone socket is a TRRS variety and supports headsets. Headphone output quality is decent and satisfying. I tried the Philips X2 and DT1770 Pro; both can be driven well beyond normal listening volume with no evidence of background hiss. Bass response isn’t as tight as usual which probably indicates a high output impedance.

    The build quality is good. The exterior is (very thin) aluminium, screwed into threaded inserts of a plastic interior frame. The hinges appear to be steel. The entire back cover comes off easily with no plastic tabs to break; although the only user-upgradable part is the additional M.2 SSD slot, for which a small cover is provided. Not sure why they bothered with the little hatch when the whole back comes off so easily.

    It doesn’t have the same exquisite feel as a Macbook or Surface product; but is way better than it has any right to be for the price. Everything is finished consistently and feels smooth. Ironically the aluminium case on this has less ‘sharp’ edges than my prior unibody Macbook Air, so feels more comfortable to use. The hinge cover appears to be the only plastic case part.

    In summary, I’d describe the whole user experience as being slightly awkward; the keyboard and mouse don’t feel as well-tuned as any ‘brand’ laptop I’ve used; but aren’t bad in any respect. The processor is just slow enough to make you wait. The screen is only just bright enough and the battery life doesn’t live up to the expectations set by the product description. The storage space is minimal but can be easily extended with the M.2 slot and Micro SD slot.

    It’s a simple, well-built and stylish device that looks and feels better than it should; but low performance lets it down.

    The fact that this entire device costs the same as the extortionate 200 8GB RAM upgrade option for the M1 Macbook is comical.

    Bought for boardgaming mainly, but also as a good downstairs mini laptop instead of office 20″ laptop in the office/bedroom. It’s a great screen, good keyboard and I added a battery BT Mouse, I don’t particularly like the finger pad on this or my laptop. Being metal it’s tough but heavier then it looks but I’m not going to be carrying it about much.
    Overall very satisfied.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI bought this about a month or so ago and I kinda like it. I have a MacBook 16″, so while comparisons may seem a bit unfair, I’m just going by my experience.

    I’m using it primarily to make my own retro games as the software for doing that is primarily Windows based. Using it for this reason, light browsing, editing/reading text documents, watching YouTube videos, it seems to work just fine.

    Also, if you’re a fan of old PC games from the 80s/90s you’ll find that those games work great on this machine. Newer games though won’t stand much of a chance I fear.

    It’s all a bit clunky, but I feel that’s due to having a MacBook as my other system and comparing it to that.

    Some thoughts:

    *The keyboard is good. It does the job well, though the amount of travel needed sometimes seems a tiny bit too much with some keys not registering first time with a light key press.

    * The trackpad feels a bit cheap (especially compared to the glass/haptic feedback one on my MacBook) but it works just fine. I sometimes use a wireless mouse instead.

    * Screen – It’s fine, but coming from 16″ you do feel a bit more cramped. It’s not a great screen (my 10 year old Samsung Slate 7 has a much brighter/clearer screen for example) but for what I’m using it for, it’s ok.

    * Battery life is really good – I’ve used it for hours at once and had the battery drop to around 50% – again, I’m not using it for intensive tasks, but I was pleasantly surprised at how long the battery lasted.

    * Not used the mini HDMI yet, and doubt I will – the USB C port should work fine for that.

    *USB C port – I use this for charging the unit mainly (with a Nintendo Switch charger!). Never used the supplied charger.

    * Nice array of ports. Two USB A’s is more than I got on my MacBook! The USB C really sold it to me though, which is why I went for this model.

    * It takes longer than I’d like to open up some programs – I believe this is due to having just 4GB of system ram. So yeah, things will not be lightning fast, but they’re not unbearable slow either.

    * I added a SATA SSD into the port and used that as my main drive by cloning the internal drive. I’m not sure if there’s any noticeable speed increase, but I appreciate the extra storage.

    * I’m using a 128gb card in the SD Card slot primarily as a way to store old 80s/90s games from GOG.com – it plays these older games just fine, and I’m really happy with it in this capacity.

    * The overall style is really nice. It doesn’t look cheap. There’s a shiny bezel that for some reason I really love. It’s really thin and light and feels good. There was no logo on the external screen lid (though it’s pictured on the store page as having one) so I threw an apple sticker on it 😉

    * I should add that it does sometimes get a little warm on the right edge next to the USB-C port, especially if I try and push it by playing graphically intensive games. There’s no fan, which might account for this. It also means it runs silently though, which my MacBook is not prone to do!

    Overall, if you’re looking for a cheap, well made laptop, this will fit the bill. It suited my needs perfectly – playing and making retro games! In this capacity, I don’t feel that I’m pushing it at all, and it’s handling things just fine.

    Hope you find that useful!

    Definitely worth considering at the price for retro gaming/developing

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI bought this to replace a 6-year old Android Tablet and an 8-yr old Laptop, both of which worked tolerably well but were showing their age; I’d brought the HP laptop slightly up-to-date by replacing the H/D with a 120GB SSD. A few weeks ago, for a friend’s daughter, I’d set-up one of these 150, unbranded, lightweight, thin laptops running Win10 and was pleasantly surprised with its performance. (I’ve carefully avoided WIN10 since 2015 and continue to run WIN7 on my main, i-5 PC.) When I read the reviews of the 150 machines, I decided I need something a bit more reliable and felt this LincPlus fit the bill. I find it hard to believe that WIN10 can run so well (so Far!) on this Processor. W10 uses almost 20GB disk space and my Programs less than 4GB; there’s 28GB free space on C: and 110GB on a Sandisk Micro-SD card (15). This is not my main machine! It’s for “Downstairs” use (especially when my ‘Office’ in the Loft extension is more than 30degrees-C.) and holidays. 3 weeks on: So far, so good: recommended!

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersThe laptop is very impressive for the price. It costs around the same price for a Chromebook but is capable of so much more.

    It was very easy to set up. There was some charge in the battery as the laptop came out of the box. I pressed the power button just out of interest to see what would happen and it turned on and starred loading Windows 10.

    Usual fun with Windows 10, opting out of all the unwanted apps etc. But when all installed it runs well.

    I would recommend buying the extra memory because when Windows 10 and all the updates are installed, almost half of the on board memory has been used up. I altered the ‘Download’ option on the browser to the new memory card to save filling the on board memory.

    A new memory card is a pig to install, not as easy as it could have been.

    The location for the new memory is on the back of the laptop under a flap which is held in place with two very, very small screws. The screws require a tiny screwdriver, similar to what you would use for tightening the arms on a paid of specs…yes that small.

    Once I found a small enough screwdriver, I discovered that the screws on the cover just didn’t want to move…I had to resort to holding the small screwdriver in a pair of pliers, pressing down really hard and twisting.

    Finally I got the screws out, removed the cover and discovered another similar screw which hold the new memory card in. That was just as difficult to remove as the first two.

    It took longer to fit the new memory card that it did to install Windows 10 !!

    Having said all that – the laptop is a well made thing and totally quiet in use. I bought it to use to record songs/ tunes with a microphone and acoustic guitar etc. Not tried it yet but everything looks good.

It runs mint 19.2 really well exept I have never got the tracker pad buttons to work, I did deduct a star for that but changed my mind cause I have got so used to it now that I forget they’re there anyway, also the seller only said it would run windows and I assume it would (if you’re into that kind of thing).
    Build quality is beautiful, it looks and feels like an expensive piece of kit. I love the Finnish.

    I have only used free open source software and I haven’t had to download anything to get it to work (although if the touchpad buttons bothered me I would have looked for drivers). It has given me a great linux mint experience right out of the box.
    You cannot add ram, and the wifi is intergrated (if memory serves the antenna could be disconnected). In fact, aside from the m.2 slot the inside actually almost resembles a larger system on a chip but, but it’s been a long time since I looked and I have had no issue with the hardware as is (be aware windows doesn’t tend to get the same performance out of hardware that linux does so look at other reviews if you wanna run as is).
    Being fanless it doesn’t make a peep, but with the all metal body I have had no issues with heat.

    The battery life is incredible, I can use this machine on and off for a day or more and it charges in no time. Plus it charges from usb-c too (a great trick when travelling, especially if you have other stuff that does like newer model Samsung smartphones)

    Super happy.
    Would recommend for a linux user or prospective linux user.
    For a windows user I would recommend……linux!

    Update: With Manjaro the mouse buttons also work straight away.

    Update: with later versions of mint the mouse buttons work out of the box.

    I’s a very well built, slim beautiful laptop. Good customer services. Laptop is slow but hopefully loading windows from SSD will help.

    If you are looking for a laptop either for travel purposes or because all of your things are online and you need something that is purely processing (but the processing power is taken care of by an external server) then this is a great little laptop. It is light, boots up fast, and has enough power to do everything locally whilst the main hard work is done remotely.

    If you fit the following this one is for you:
    You use Google docs
    You use Microsoft online docs
    You are using online email (Gmail, Hotmail etc)
    You use it for browsing the web, buying things from Amazon, eBay etc
    You are a “light” user

    If you want to store things locally then you can do so by installing an SSD – and the expansion slot for that is an unusual asset in this machine.

    I give this a 5 star based on the above use.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is a very neat and stylish unit. Sure not the fastest but perfect for travel and the screen looks great too. Purchased a 240 gb SSD and had great fun configuring it. When fitted lots of the free software products will clone the current drive setup to the SSD. However I wanted the SSD to be a complete windows drive with full capacity and these programs wont allow you to expand the partition without paying. NiUBI partition editor to the rescue, this will clone your current drive to the SSD. It will then allow you to delete the recovery section (you still have the original on the supplied drive) to the right of the new windows setup, with this deleted you can merge the windows section into the unallocated space giving you an SSD with windows and 200+ GB. Give this drive a new letter say F, restart the laptop into the bios (delete key) and select both boot options to the new SSD F Drive…….Done

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI chose this laptop for emailing, browsing and also as a thin client for connecting to a much powerful development workstation (living on the cloud). For that kind of use, the high quality 14 inch IPS screen and the long battery life are its strong points.

    For ~200 quid you get an ultra thin laptop with:
    – High quality all metal shell
    – Full HD, 14 inch IPS screen that can go bright enough for working in daylight too
    – Decent battery life 7+ hrs
    – A highly configurable BIOS for the geeks out there (can fully configure boot order, CPU modes, secure boot options etc).
    – A very responsive touchpad

    A few things that IMO could be better:
    – Not exceptionally happy with the keyboard feel and feedback, it feels kinda cheap/plasticky, but can definately live with it.
    – No need IMO for the very small (32GB) on-board SSD. Would prefer a slightly lower laptop price without it. I have installed an secondary SSD and re-installed Windows that boot from there instead.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersNothing to dislike about this great laptop. Sleek, lightweight, does everything I want it to do and more. Highly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 41 From Our UsersI recently purchased this laptop to help me carry out everyday tasks, such as; emails, Microsoft Excel and watching the odd YouTube video. As a student, I needed something to help me increase my productivity. I was falling behind my peers and my grades weren’t the best.

    I took it upon myself to find a laptop, that was portable, had a good battery life and was good enough to play the odd game as well.

    I am pleased to say that this laptop was all that and more, I found the design to be both sleek and pleasing on the eye. I found this laptop to be extremely portable, dragging it from classroom to classroom, with relative ease. And, even with fairly high usage, it was able to last the full day without needing a charge. Although the charger even comes without a power brick, making it even lighter.

    It comes with everything you could possibly need, even a sd card slot, which actually came in handy when I was doing my coursework and having to transfer files quickly.

    I love this laptop and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering getting it, it’s perfect for on the go, light business/student use and will increase your productivity.

    It is also great value for money.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis laptop is great, very slim, very good battery life (at least 5 hours) and can handle basic tasks and very light gaming. Apps such as Google and youtube can be a bit slow, but for 250 it’s not that bad, could of course have a bit more storage but extra is cheap so it’s not a big deal, overall 4/5 stars, great laptop for students and seniors looking to do banking/web browsing

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersI buy a lot of tech(!) and find myself surprised by this machine. A gaming platform it isn’t, nor is it suitable for serious video or photo editing. But it is lightweight, with good battery life, sharp enough screen, perfect for working on documents etc away from the office. No annoying fan noise but backlit keys would have been a positive.

    Actually prefer it to my 12.9″ iPad Pro due to its 1920 x 1080 display.

    If you buy an SSD to upgrade – definately recommended – just make sure you buy SATA not PCI. I bought a 500GB Samsung Evo 860 SATA III. Works fine.

    It’s a good value machine. Really.
