Great budget laptop for a college student!
For my usage, this laptop fits the bill. I got it on Prime Day for $290 after tax. Here are my first impressions:
Pros:
‐VERY LIGHTWEIGHT for a 15.6 inch laptop
- Colors are very saturated
- Sleek exterior (pictures above)
- Decent battery life (about 6.5 hours)
- Great performance overall
Cons:
-Only 4gb ram out of the box ( I took the bottom panel off and installed Crucial 8GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Memory Model CT8G4SFS8266.
-Keypad makes loud noises when clicked on
-128 GB ssd's, with about 98gb after set up. There is an empty slot for an internal hard drive when you take off the bottom panel.
- Sound isn't very loud when turned up all the way
I mainly use this laptop for school work (I'm in college) and is within my budget. It's very portable and can take abuse if it's coming in and out of a backpack.
