Bought this because I needed something to use for note taking and studying for University. I don't use any applications except Chrome, PowerPoint, and Anki (virtual note cards app). Most weeks I'm only using it 4 days a week and charging in between.Battery life is fine, gets me through full study days (~12 hours) and it charges pretty fast. Honestly no complaints on performance, I've never run out of battery during the school day and it runs fast.. enough (I'm the type of person that never closes their tabs). A quick restart always helps though, then its back to normal.Only issue is the camera randomly stopped working a few months in, which is why I'm taking 1 star off. I bought a separate webcam for ~$20 to remedy this.Mine came with a backlit keyboard, not sure if I was just "lucky" since other reviews says theirs wasn't backlit.Super cheap and usually on sale, definitely worth it if you need something for casual use.
