There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1.) I find Windows 10 S Mode to be excellent. The more I use it, the more I like it. {I've used S Mode on other devices for about 8-months.) You can exit S Mode easily, but I say it is really an awesome and an under rated OS. It virtually blocks malware, period. You can't tell the laptop is in S Mode unless you try to install something from outside of the Windows Store. Unless you are a gamer or need some special program, S Mode should be considered. It can save you a lot of concern about being compromised by hacking, which is becoming more of a concern of late, especially with the increase in sophistication in attacks from nation states and organized crime. Yep, I'm a techy with an opposing view to the techie press. Seems they mostly trash Windows 10 S Mode, but they rarely seem to articulate the benefits of S Mode. I think Microsoft should do a better job of marketing the OS. Why they don't is beyond me.
I upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro via the Windows Store. I then as an admin joined this device to Office 365's Intune. I realize the tech world seems to talk down Windows 10 S Mode, but I am a contrarian and think it is outstanding. Also, S Mode requires way less Windows updates than regular Windows so, again, I am a fan. As an admin, I don't need to concern myself with updates as much. This OS is really hard to compromise.
2.) This laptop is an outstanding value for the price. It has and i3 Intel processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD hard drive. Really, this is perfect configuration for the average business or college user. The performance is excellent for what it is equipped with. The i3 Intel chip works a lot better than most people realize. Even running when streaming video, it does well.
3.) The display is adequate for business use. If you are a gamer or watching lots of video, it will likely be somewhat disappointing, good displays cost. You don't usually get something for nothing. Again, the display is adequate for what it is. Although the viewing angles are tight, I've seen other reviewers comments about the display and find their comments exaggerated and I wonder what they expect for a laptop that costs less than $500. Let me add that I have worked on a lot of PCs over the years, and I can tell you this display is good, but not great. However, if you want a premium display, like I said earlier, you need to pay for it. Again, this display is good enough for general use.
4.) The ports provided are the latest version of each type provided. Again, this laptop is a great value for the cost.
5.) The backlit keyboard is really good. I like the feel of the keys, and I like the numeric pad. The keyboard is quiet and comfortable to type on.
6.) The laptop's body/frame. Is plastic. Looks pretty darn good given the price of the unit. However, I am unsure as to how strong the body is should the laptop take a fall. I'm not doing a drop-test on this one because I have pay for it if I break it, but again, the price point of this laptop gives you a pretty darn good device for the price.
CONCLUSION: A surprisingly great laptop for the under $500 price charged and will be appreciated by a general or average user. (Suggestion: Keep the device in S Mode and save yourself malware and update headaches.)
The bad: The backlit keyboard, which I wanted, works intermittently, it will light back up if I shut down and restart, which is a pretty quick process, but still annoying. When I took it out of safe mode it loaded Windows 11, which I did not want and for some reason, made it hard to transfer things from one laptop to the other (windows 10 machine) at least that gave me something to do for a day or so. And it only has 2 USB ports, with the wireless mouse, which only leaves one, and with a hub it will not support charging. All relatively minor things, just annoying.
For the money, I can live with the drawbacks, and once I am back up and around will probably end up in my truck bag and continue to be a handy little tool, although it will get little use.
I would buy this laptop again.
This laptop has everything I've wanted in a computer, except the graphics card of course. All in all, I'm really happy with the purchase.
Pros:
1. This laptop is thin and light. I can definitely take this laptop anywhere without noticing that I really have it with me.
2. I've seen some comments that the sound is bad. Well guess what, It's not bad at all. Not the quality of a Mackbook pro, but come on, for the price? It actually sounds pretty good. Those two speakers in the bottom, when hitting against the table, it bounces off giving a really good base sound, allthough they have the potential to get a bit louder, but that aside, it's great for a laptop this thin.
3. Others say that the screen is horrible. I don't see anything horrible about it. It's not full IPS quality, but the 1080p screen looks pretty good. Again, taking you back to the price, can't beat it.
4. The backlit keyboard is beautiful! Even though the keyboard needs a bit more work (make it feel more clicky), the white backlit makes this laptop look like a pro when putting it side by side with other well known brands out there.
5. There's enough peripherals for what I need. Comes with 2 USB's on the left side, 1 USB-A on the right side, HDMI, USB-C and the sd card slot. Not bad for the size of this laptop. Enough for a thin laptop. Unfortunately it didn't come with an ethernet port, which I use a lot for a more stable connection, but that's what external usb network arapters are for.
6. Extra slot for another 2.5 HDD/SSD. Not many laptops at this price range have that, so I'm really glad this one does in case I want to expand my storage a bit more.
7. The battery life is just great. The first time I fully charged it, I used it for about 5 hours and it still had some juice left. I think I could have used it up to 6 hours for me to charge it back again. I used it with minimum backlit brightness and about half screen brightness. Not bad at all. Oh, and the charging time, amazing, from 10% to 100% in about an hour, could have been less
Cons:
1. The flex cable adapter for the additional internal HDD/SDD is not included in the box. I believe this should be included all the time for all of the laptops that offer the chance to expand the storage. Not much of a biggie though, you can find that adapter in amazon for about 12 bucks.
2. Cannot upgrade the ram further than 16gb + the integrated 4gb that's soldered into the motherboard. This is unfortunate since it would have been a great oportunity to add some options to update the RAM to 32gb.
As you can see, there are way more pros than cons, so you can definitely tell that I really like this laptop. Give it a try, I totally recommend it.

7. The battery life is just great. The first time I fully charged it, I used it for about 5 hours and it still had some juice left. I think I could have used it up to 6 hours for me to charge it back again. I used it with minimum backlit brightness and about half screen brightness. Not bad at all. Oh, and the charging time, amazing, from 10% to 100% in about an hour, could have been less
Cons:
1. The flex cable adapter for the additional internal HDD/SDD is not included in the box. I believe this should be included all the time for all of the laptops that offer the chance to expand the storage. Not much of a biggie though, you can find that adapter in amazon for about 12 bucks.
2. Cannot upgrade the ram further than 16gb + the integrated 4gb that's soldered into the motherboard. This is unfortunate since it would have been a great oportunity to add some options to update the RAM to 32gb.
As you can see, there are way more pros than cons, so you can definitely tell that I really like this laptop. Give it a try, I totally recommend it.

La realización de actividades es muy fluido aunque estén abiertas varias pestañas o aplicaciones. Hasta ahora nunca se ha trabado.
Es fácil de desactivar el modo S y configurar el teclado en idioma español.
La resolución de la pantalla es de muy buena calidad, así como la duración de la batería, (entre 6-8 horas de uso).
La relación calidad precio me pareció excelente, por la fluidez con que se desempeña en la realización de las actividades multitarea.
En cuanto a la privacidad se desbloquea con la huella digital.
Me encantó el teclado iluminado, pues es excelente para utilizarla por las noches.
No he visto como se desempeña al correr videojuegos, pues la uso para trabajo de oficina, pero sí utilizo diversas aplicaciones y pestañas en los navegadores.
En cuanto al sonido es algo tenue, pero en lugares pequeños como una habitación se escucha bien.
apart from that, very satisfied.
Es rápida por su SSD, aunque es de 128 y sólo tienes disponibles alrededor de 80GB está perfecto para la escuela u oficina.
Enciende en menos de 10 segundos, teclado retroiluminado, varios puertos USB de diferentes características, HDMI. Los altavoces son débiles y con muy poca definición; podría decir que suena igual que el altavoz de mi celular pero, cumple para lo que se necesita. La batería tiene una duración aceptable dentro de 4-6 horas dándole un uso ofimático.
Por 10k no pienso que exista algo mejor, ya que viene con un procesador Intel Core i3 de 10ma generación y 128SSD (80 libres, ya lo aclaramos).
