Coming from a 15.6 inch gaming laptop, this thing is tiny. Gaming laptop was too big and unwieldy for when I just wanted to go out and study or watch some videos. Decided I needed something more compact and versatile.
Pros:
-Great vibrant looking screen with plenty of brightness. 4K videos are pretty.
-Compact.
-Battery life is pretty good for the size. A few hours streaming videos no problem.
-Foldable. Can get a lot of different angles.
-Lightweight
-Has a 3.5mm headphone jack. I'm not using it, but it's a nice to have.
-Uses USB-C for charging and docking. Doesn't use a proprietary plug for charging which is nice. USB-C port works with docks.
-Good responsive touchscreen with pen support (pen included for my purchase).
Cons:
-It gets hot. If under load the laptop does get hot and would not be comfortable if resting on your lap. Despite the size, I suggest you get a laptop mat with fans, since it does get pretty hot.
-Fans can get pretty loud and whiny when under load.
-The Camera is garbage. Terrible quality. It is only 720P. Kind of to be expected for such a small laptop. It will work alright for calls, but by far the worst Laptop Camera I've ever used. Definitely a downgrade from my 1080p camera on my gaming laptop.
-Sound volume can be a little low. Although they are side firing, they are facing down at an angle. This muffles the sound a little bit.
-Only has 1 USB-A port. There are 2 USB-C ports, but I'm still someone that has a lot of USB-A type dongles and connectors. I suggest getting a USB-C docking station or hub, so you can connect more peripherals, if you need them. Otherwise, get some Bluetooth stuff and connect wireless.
Who should buy this? Someone that only plans to do some casual gaming, browsing and watching videos. The screen is extremely small, so I suggest bumping up if you are looking to do some productivity. Despite being a touchscreen the screen is very bright. It might be a good fit for someone that has plans to use the pen for drawing etc.
