I purchased this for my new small business. I have a good work laptop (my prev real job I still do consulting) that's much more $, so I will give some solid comparisons for why this is an entry level vs a +$1k laptop of same size.None of these are deal-breakers, just comparisons (from most noticeable to least noticeable):- Sound / speakers suck. It works, but speakers are terrible. Especially compared to my $ laptop. This actually would have been a deal breaker in the past, but now we have convenient workarounds like bluetooth and using my smartphone instead.- Screen doesn't get as bright. I work on my back deck under the umbrella and it would be nice to be able to have the brightness of the $$ laptop. Again, it works fine...but would be nice to be brighter- I often have many internet tabs open at once. If I have, say, 8 tabs open and haven't pulled one of them up in a bit, it will have to reload. This is the least of all the inconveniences, but something I've noticed.I'm not unhappy with my purchase, esp for the price. I wanted to spend very little, and it's fine.Update: My modem/router was outdated. So to the internet issue, I think that was some of it. That said, it's still not as fast as my work computer, but it def runs better with a better modem/router. Screen and sound review the same obviously.
