After a week of using, I can say this laptop delivers everything that it promises for a very competitive price! The performance is great for everyday tasks. The speakers are loud. The touchpad is big. The fingerprint reader is snappy. There's even a 2.5" slot for storage if you ever want more down the road.Just for the sake of the review, here are my very picky gripes.1. The power jack is very small and does not inspire confidence in terms of durability. And it does not charge via Type-C.2. It is hard to grab the lid when opening unless you can insert your fingernails in there and pull. Also, you can't open the lid with one hand due to the weight distribution.3. The battery life is manageable if crank the performance settings down a notch (about 6 hours with the "Better battery" setting). But I feel like it takes too long to recharge.BTW this is the first laptop I have owned since being a desktop PC guy for my whole life. So don't take my words for granted.
