Not a bad laptop for the money and dose all I need being as I do not game.Screen is of reasonable resolution and brightness only odd things is for the best viewing it seems to need to be at a larger angle than you would expect.System responds quickly and battery life I would say is avg and lasted about 3 1/2 hours for me under full load streaming HD video. The volume seems a bit low but that might be because they are under the laptop.Note! This is a USB-C 3.1 and not 3.2 and will NOT display videoThere are a few personal issues.FIRST the microSD slot is not the kind that you fully insert the card into so it sticks out. This for me at least is annoying as I use a 256GB microSD for storage.The SECOND issue is only if your going to run Ubuntu. The laptop uses Intel Rapid Storage Technology and that needs to be disabled. When you change it in the BIOS windows will not boot since it can no longer find the C drive. I ran thru the steps to try and correct this however that failed so I had to reset windows completely after I disabled RST in the BIOS. So if you are going to run Ubuntu do that before you do anything with windows as you will have to reset it.
