Typing this review from the laptop in question. Only bad things I could say about this laptop are that my fingerprint scanner was barely functional (no biggie for me, I like to use PIN numbers more anyway), and that the package came with someone's hair in it (kinda gross). The laptop itself looks pretty clean despite that one issue. Performance wise, it handles heavy duty browsing, some music production (I use FL Studio 12) and LIGHT gaming pretty good (I currently tested out a few emulators and they run pretty good.) In theory it could also do a bit of mid-tier gaming with an external gpu but don't quote me on that. The battery isn't too bad, lasting 5 hours with max brightness and the "High Performance" power option selected, it would probably get around another hour or two if the power saver options were selected though.  All and all, a pretty nice laptop for the price ($250).NOTE: I also had a bit of an issue at first with updating this laptop, though a few restarts solved that for me pretty well.
