Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This laptop is a great combo of premium features with substantial power for general use. It initially felt a little slow, but it got much faster after applying a bunch of Windows 10 "feature updates' and allowing it to 'burn in' for a few days. Here's the gist folks: Pros: -Sharp & bright 1080 display, looks even better if you tweak the colors in the Intel Graphics Setting. -Wonderful backlit keyboard. -The battery life is PHENOMENAL! Now, it's not *quite* 12 hours, but I've used it up to 7 hours off and on with reliable performance so far. In my experience, that qualifies as phenomenal. -DDR4 RAM and newest Core i3 CPU make it perfect for normal browsing, streaming videos, or general office work. I recommend buying this for the empty RAM slot to get the most out of it: Ballistix Sport LT 4GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) SODIMM 260-Pin Memory - BLS4G4S240FSD -Sleek design, resist smudging much better than that glossy stuff many laptops have. -USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 C connections future proof your interface options. -The price, $350 is a steal! Cons: -Screen bezel feels a little flimsy, especially since the hinges resist a little, so be gentle or say screw it and buy the warranty. -Webcam is grainy in low/spotty lighting. If you care about such things, it's not ideal. -Battery is not removable, which will be a concern down the road. I assume I can take the laptop apart and replace it, but I'll let Future Me deal with that mess. -No HDD activity light. Maybe I'm just old, but I miss having it for some dumb reason I can't explain. -Lacks premium features, like an SSD, dedicated GPU, the latest Core i7 CPU, and can't run Battlefield One on max settings. Oh wait, I knew that because I'm not 'tarded and deliberately purchased this product knowing it had none of those things. Weird that I would complain about all that in a review. /s
