Rich in features, low in price
I got the 16GB/512GB version. It performs crisply. The display is 15.6" rather than the more typical 15.9" displays I have had on laptops for the last 25+ years, and I can't tell the difference.It has several features that I really like. Most important to me, it has a backlit keyboard. Unlike previous laptops with backlit keyboards that I have had (all Acers, I believe) the backlighting doesn't time out after 30 seconds of not using the keyboard, and it is adjustable in brightness. Both features are worth noting.It also has actual CapsLock and NumLock indicator lights, a rarity these days. Further, you can toggle the setting that determines whether the Function keys perform as actual Function keys without going into the BIOS. Simply hit the Esc key while holding down the Fn key to toggle that setting. Nice. It has an audio jack, missing on a lot of laptops now.It has a fingerprint reader built in to the touchpad, but like most laptops it does not have dedicated PgUp, PgDn, Home, or End keys. They are imbedded in the numeric keypad. I work around that by using the AutoHotkey utility, which can program the keyboard such that pressing the Ctrl key while tapping the imbedded PgUp, PgDn, Home, or End key will execute that imbedded key.The laptop feels quite solid. No flexing, no cheesy appearance, no noisy fan.The USB-C charging method is a slight improvement over the standard laptop power adapter. The included 65W adapter plugs directly into your AC outlet (although it is big, so will take up the space of at least two outlets on a typical power strip), rather than having a 120V cord between the outlet and the adapter plus the skinny low-voltage cord from the adapter to the laptop. You might think you could keep this laptop charged while in use by plugging in a handy cell phone charging cable, eliminating the need for a dedicated power source for the computer. You would be wrong. The laptop needs the 65W adapter and heavy duty USB cable that comes with it to keep up with its normal power consumption. Still, it is less cumbersome than the usual clunky power adapter with its two cables.In summary, this is a great laptop for a bargain price.Ver másVer menos
