Like other reviews have said, this is NOT (exactly) a budget laptop and the Ryzen in this laptop packs a punch especially if you upgrade the ram (I got the 4gb version).What I love:- Super fast with the ram upgrade (I also upgraded the HD)- The backlight keyboard which I couldn't find at the time with comparable models- The full size keyboard and though the number pad is small you get used to it quickly- Plenty of USB ports especially if you are on the go a lot- GREAT BATTERY LIFE (I can go at least 6 hours of working mostly on web based apps)- GREAT for web based workWhat I don't love- The HDMI connector is going out on my model. When you touch it the second monitor flickers and it's not the cable because it doesn't do this on my other laptop.- The speakers are starting to crackle. Not all the time but when it happens it's kind of annoying. Doesn't seem to do this though when you have headphones plugged in.- I bought this laptop in late December 2020 so....figured I wouldn't have these types of issues until much later.Overall...- I don't think you can get a better laptop that's this powerful (again with the ram upgrade)- It boots up quickly- You get GREAT battery life- In a lot of ways I consider this to be a better laptop than most MacBook Air's I've worked on- Won't play graphic intensive games but if you're into some light gaming and/or just like to watch Netflix (and chill) then it'll work great
