UPDATE: I wanted to come back and update because I feel like this is a big deal. For some reason all of my kids as toddlers have been obsessed with pulling keys off keyboards. Today my 3 year old was being suspiciously quiet and I found him hiding behind the couch pulling all the keys off my keyboard. If you’ve ever been through this you know it’s a huge pain because usually the little brackets underneath or the clips on the key that hold it to the bracket break if you pull them off and they never go on right or won’t even stay on. I’m happy to say that while all the keys shown in the photo were pulled off (and not carefully I might add) all of them went back on perfectly. The “G” key kind of sits a little funny because one corner underneath did break but it still stays on and is usable. Anyway I’m super impressed that they’d keys are holding up to a toddler determined to pull them all off!I’ve been needing a new laptop for a while now. My toddlers got ahold of my Asus and broke and pulled off half the keys on the keyboard and my trackpad buttons kept getting stuck. This is the exact same size as my ASUS but it does have less features for about double the cost. One of the things I loved about my ASUS that cost about 500 a couple years ago is that it was touch screen and the screen would open all the way up to the backside of the keyboard and function as a tablet. This doesn’t have either of those features but probably is a bit better guts wise. This one is surprisingly only a little bit heavier and thicker than my Asus. One thing that I appreciate on this laptop is that the trackpad is bigger and much more responsive. I haven’t lost the cursor yet and had to tap and swipe around the trackpad for a couple seconds to find it like happened with my ASUS. The fingerprint login is kind of cool but unfortunately within the first couple times of using it, it already wasn’t recognizing me and I had to just enter the passcode anyway. I also feel like this laptop pretty fast and responsive in general. I don’t do anything crazy but it has run my websites and my Cricut design space well that I use the most well. It also brought everything over from my Google account which was nice. I wish it would bring over all my downloaded fonts but I’m sure that will be easy enough with a flash drive. Speaking of drives, this has a usb-c port which is nice for all the newer devices. It also has an SD slot but you will need an adaptor for a micro SD card which is a bummer since almost everything is micro now. There is no disc drive of any type on this laptop which I know is pretty obsolete these days anyway but thought I would mention it. Another thing I appreciated about this laptop is that the plug for the wall is normal sized so it doesn’t take up multiple outlet spaces. That of course means it has that big box about halfway through the cord but I don’t mind that so much. The battery lasted about a day and a half of casual use which is acceptable. The keyboard is backlit which is nice. It also give that full clicking feeling so you know you hit the button but is still very quiet. Lastly when the top opens it kind of tips the keyboard up a bit if sitting on a flat surface. This will be nice for ergonomics as well as allowing the bottom to stay cool.A couple things I didn’t love about this laptop include that the display seems a little off to me and there are some not great cosmetic choices. When I opened my Cricut design space I immediately noticed a difference between this laptop and my old one. The colors just seem dull or off in some way but just a bit. I tried adjusting it in the settings but couldn’t find anything that would let me adjust it to where I liked. I also noticed in the settings that it has a setting for an on screen touch keyboard which really confused me since it’s not a touch screen. Also the apostrophe and quotations key on the keyboard looks backwards to me. I know it could technically be right but I’ve never seen a keyboard with it facing this direction. Also the top of my laptop has identical irregular dents in the corners. I noticed them almost right away so I don’t think I caused them. Also the fact that they’re pretty symmetrical makes me think it’s part of the design somehow but it looks awful. Lastly as far as negatives, it made a weird buzzing sound the whole time I was setting it up that had me a bit concerned but once I had all the setup done it went away. I have no idea what caused that.Overall this is a nice laptop and will definitely work for my more casual uses. I do think it’s overpriced but maybe I’m just out of the loop since buying my last laptop a few years ago. I think if I were shopping to buy a laptop I would definitely look for a better priced option with similar features and specs before trying this.
