Pros: It's not a gaming laptop, but after I upgraded the m.2 and the ram to 32gb, this thing is super fast. Takes about 11 seconds to startup all the way from being off. Takes about 6 seconds to shutdown completely after clicking shutdown. It has 2 slots for ram, and it has 2x m.2 slots. It takes the gen 3 x4 type of m.2. It comes with windows 11, but I ended up installing windows 10 on the new m.2 (2tb) that i installed. It is fast and has 8 cores/16 threads. I wanted it for dj'ing and for school and I am very happy with this computer. It feels very tough yet also kinda light. I don't like the trackpad (i like a more smooth feeling trackpad found on macbooks, this one I feel like my finger gets stuck at low speeds), but I do really like the feel of the keyboard. It is a great value for what it is, I got it for $550 + tax on shellshocker sale. The display looks good, maybe not as good as a macbook, but still very good. The speakers aren't super loud out of the box, but I found software that can add volume that gets high enough for me now. Really good wifi good bluetooth . Only reason i take off one egg is i wish it had better graphics card and sound card. As a dj those things are a little bit important for me. So far one time it wouldn't play sound or video and then I restarted it and everything worked again. I had been doing a lot of intensive programming stuff for a few days straight, so it's possible I was just pushing the laptop to it's limits for too long of a period. It doesn't feel very hot even having it work hard for a while. the hdmi output is a nice touch. I haven't streamed anything on it yet but from what I can tell it should play movies to a big screen just fine. I tested the hdmi and it plays sound through the hdmi cable and video looks very good on my 47" 1080p tv. I was using it while it was on my lap and it didn't feel very warm at all. I feel like I could have kept it there for an hour or more without it causing discomfort.
Cons: It so far only once didn't play sound or youtube videos for me after working on it for a few days straight without a restart. After restart, everything worked fine again. The drivers were kind of a pain to install, but that was only after I installed windows 10 on the new ssd I got for it. I haven't tested it out with the windows 11 that came with the laptop, but it's possible it runs better with windows 11. I just really like windows 10 because I know all of my software that I typically use all runs on that operating system very well... One thing I don't really like about it is it is a fingerprint magnet.. So just be warned! but if you clean it regularly it shouldn't matter that much. The mini sd card for me is useless, but maybe someone would like to use it..
Overall Review: I would recommend getting this laptop for school or for anything that uses a lot of cores. For example when you analyze your music for dj'ing, you really want more cores and threads as it makes the job take much less time. If you are using software that needs to crunch numbers very quickly, such as matlab or python or C++, this laptop should get the job done for you no problem. If you want to game, I would say go find a different laptop. I know it will probably do ok at 1080p at 30 fps for many games run at intermediate, but I'm not really a gamer anymore and so I wouldn't recommend this laptop for gaming. Overall it is very fast and I really like feel and look of it. I feel like it is nice and rigid and will take a beating over its lifetime. It's not too heavy, has a backlit keyboard (white only). I am not a fan of AMD at all but for the price and what you get, this laptop is actually pretty nice overall. It would make a great gift for someone that isn't trying to game very much with it. It should play cs:go and minecraft with at least 60 fps on 1080p mid to max settings. Overall, $700 isn't too bad. Definitely get it for $550 if it goes back on sale again!!
