Muy buena computadora y gran procesamiento.

My old laptop died, and I needed a new one but didnt want to spend a lot. This laptop does everything I need plus.

Summary: Great computer, great value.

I held out a long time before landing on this laptop--kept bouncing between HP and Dell models until this showed up quite unexpectedly and then got snatched up quickly. I jumped on it at a very attractive price for the infrastructure I wanted that this had: latest I7 chip, 16 GB RAM, 512 SSD. Plus I wanted as many USB ports as possible along with a Thunderbolt port; never could find an HP (my previous laptops brand) or Dell with the right mix. A really nice plus is the function key that can deactivate the touch pad--I use a mouse and sometimes accidentally hitting the touch pad can be a problem. Finally, I liked the Indie Black color. Im not a gamer so cant comment on how this model handles those requirements.

I have been building and buying computers for years, I mainly used desktops because of the work I do, mostly engineering programs and it was much cheaper for me to build a powerful desktop with the graphics I needed then buy a laptop. I bought my wife a Asus laptop for her birthday 8 years ago (I7 with touch screen) I was impressed and bought a few more a year or two later for our CNC programmers to use on the floor. My wife still uses hers and it still performs pretty damn good. So l bought this one for myself. I am not extremely impressed but not really disappointed. It boots up in less then 10 seconds from off to desktop, so that is decent. Everything seems to operate at reasonable speed, I could do without the bloat ware. I just expected a little more lightning speed in a computer. Battery life, not measured but seems a little short, screen seems adequate.

Me and my husband bought one for each of this laptop and shortly after we got it we had to come back to our country and we started noticing that the screen gets blurred constantly and we need to restart the laptop. Sometimes my screen goes completely black and I have to restart it.

Microsoft 365 is junk. The software is like going backwards. Been using Windows 7 with Office 2010. Soooo many features were far better on the old software. The laptop itself does not have the greatest keyboard. Keep having to retype words. It is annoying to have Mcafee keep popping up ads for their services.

Powerful computer,

I have found that this system is mainly for web, and small type of work. It has very limited option to upgrade, the way the memory is used is different from standard units. My model has 16gm Ram but only 9gb usable as RAM the other is for virtual memory, with a pagefile size of less than 3GB. The RAM is soldered! No upgrade, period. It is using some of the ram as virtual. Which somehow gives some fast operation. I replaced de 500GB M.2 for a 1TB. It can use up to 2TB. that is the only upgrade that can be installed. From Windows 11 system info I get the following related to memory usage and configuration. Also RAM memory is shared with the video display.
