The laptop, like many other lenovo laptops is cheaply built - and is not intended to be resistant to the most minor of stresses placed on the cables or impacts caused by falls. It gets the job done quite fine, and the cheap plastic chassis keeps it lightweight.I bought mine and it lasted me 2 whole years after which it didn't fail outright (which would've been something) but annoyingly lived on as a here-now-oops-guess-not gadget. By 1.5 yrs, there were all manner of irritating issues like the audio just dropping in the middle of a zoom call forcing a restart, or the rubber bushing underneath falling off, cracks showing up around jacks, and the entire chassis getting a tiny bit wobbly when held on one side(enough for it to cause damage). This product is for the nimble handed careful folks and it's a stretch at that. If you're like me and would like nicks and scrapes to not mean a death sentence, get a different brand for the same price range. Save yourselves some frustration this way.
