This laptop has great features. It has one type C port and one USB 3.0 port. It’s sad to see it with only two ports however just buy an additional hub and it’s fine. You can use the one type C port to charge your other equipment and connect other equipment within the laptop it works great. Just make sure when you run all the programs on the system that you update all the drivers especially network drivers. And it’s true you do feel an electrical shock wow the laptop is connected to the plug. However it’s warning you that the PC is consuming a lot of energy. If you plan to have your laptop always connected. My recommendation is to open up the laptop which is pretty easy and disconnect the battery. There’s no point to mess up something that works so great right now. The battery charge lasts about two hours and 45 minutes. Processing speed is what you get for for the amount that you are paying. I do enjoy this laptop recommend it to anyone that is on a budget. BTW works wonders for students !
