I was looking for something that would allow me to do what I needed at work, without having to break the bank to do it. This laptop is just that. Here are my thoughts so far.PROS-Not to bulky-Sturdy Keyboard (does not flex when typing)-Plenty of power for general business use-Come on, its $400 for an 8th generation Intel-The sound quality is really impressive for the priceCons-Display (it's not full HD, color is decent when gamma is turned down)-Battery Life (Even on power saving mode, it looks like it will only last 5hrs)-Plastic housing (but again, it's $400)Overall, this is going to do all I hoped it would do for the price and more.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy this laptop for business, student, and other casual purposes.
