I needed a full keyboard because I'm a touch typist.I needed a budget laptop because I couldn't afford a higher priced one, and this is perfect. It cost a little over $350 at the time.It's amazing how much lighter it is compared to the 17-in screen (budget laptop by HP) I used my daily basis.I like this one so much that I got one for my husband whose larger, heavier laptop--duplicate of my old one, couldn't be unplugged to move it anywhere.He's as satisfied with his under-2-pounder) as I am with my own.I am disabled. My husband is not disabled, but he carries the Lion's share of the work (in the house) as well as having a full-time job, and three volunteer positions.He appreciates it weighing less than 2 lbs. and it having a full keyboard, because he touch types, too.My husband is fine with Windows products, (this comes with Windows 11), and I plan on putting Linux Ubuntu on my own, which I did with the older, heavier one, so we're both happy with this computer.I bought both of them here on Amazon with PRIME shipping. This one, and his: Just a little over $350 each plus tax.Only caveat is it gets 🔥 quicker than the larger, older HP laptops that we used as though they were PCS.You can either put it to sleep and let it cool down, or use a fan. I just let mine sleep for a bit, and normally my husband is not on it for long stretches of time so he just leaves it be.For us, this was a step up, not a downgrade. 👍😊👍
