GREAT MACHINE : 2 Common Complaints But Easily Solved
PLEASE READ: I spent at least 6 - 10 hours before investing in this machine. I have compared everywhere and found this to be the best bang for the buck. I saw lots of reviews that made me worried about the wifi as well as the mouse pad on this device but I have found ways to stop the problems which I will address here.
1) Wifi Problem : the wifi sucks when you first get the machine, all I did was uninstall the Intel ProWifi software and it has worked perfectly after that.
2) The MousePad, yes like everyone says it is very sensitive, BUT all you have to do is search in Cortana for "Mouse Settings" and use the scale bar to turn down the sensitivity.
These are two simple solutions to all the complaints I found to this machine.
So, how is the machine itself? Awesome!
It is very light, great screen, super silent, VERY FAST, love the touch screen and the speakers as well. The headphone jack sounded a little less clear than I was used to but it is still great. The battery life is about 4-5 hours, I can even watch a tv show or play video games and not worry about the battery being sapped. The stylus is great but I don't use it a whole lot.
I am a student but also use this for C++ development which made my old computer SOO SLOWW but this one doesn't have a problem at all. Very happy with the purchase, I will let you know if anything else comes up
