There’s lots more to like about this laptop too, but as I said initially, this is a brilliant laptop for the price! Certainly good enough fie my needs!
The chassis quality is pretty solid, there’s not too much give: the keyboard isn’t spongey. The 720p webcam obviously isn’t going to be the best thing, but it does have a physical privacy cover: a nice touch.
Of course there’s bound to be one or two compromises somewhere at this price point, and one would probably point to the screen: it’s geniunely refreshing and great that it’s a proper monitor-spec 16:10 (that extra height is *always* a plus) and at FHD+ resolution (WUXGA). 300 nits though is just above the merely adequate, and one probably shouldn’t talk of colour-accuracy for creators. But as a functional cost-effective PC for someone who just needs web browsing, Office-type apps, some Zoom calls, video playback and perhaps some light gaming, there are probably few things better at this price that are new out of the box.
– battery life sucks
– the screen brightness isn’t the best
– constantly slowing down, even though this laptop is new, basically, and barely anything on this laptop
– 14″ screen, not 16″ as advertised, so I’m sorry for anyone who got happy and excited about the screen size and got 2 inches shorter. But even though it is 14″, it’s a decent size, just disappointed, as you are paying for the 16″, you are paying for what was advertised and promised.
But overall, a great laptop. 4 stars
:
So I was told the 16″ means diagonally, apologies for the mistake, I genuinely thought it was measured horizontally, this is new to me, a little strange tbh.
Anyway, I re-measured the laptop, and I got:
17″ diagonally
14″ horizontally
10″ vertically
I hope this helps and apologise for the honest mistake!
Only small problem I have is when closing the lid and hibernation mode kicks in. I find after 2 days it needs a restart as I use an Access program and things start to malfunction nothing serious as when I restart everything works fine. I am overall happy with this Laptop.
