In All Laptop

Everything responds quickly Backlit keyboard

- its pretty compact, light, and has a hinge that helps ventilation. -nice and fast for what i need (art programs, maybe a game) -i love the light up keyboard.

The battery life is excellent. I get almost a full day off from the electricity and then the recharging takes around 1 hour. The display is fantastic! I was looking for a 17" screen, but this 16" screen with the QHD resolution is even better than I expected. The biggest surprise is how light it is and easy to carry around. The keyboard is very comfortable and the back light is quite helpful. I haven't had a chance to play around with the backlit colors yet;-)

-CPU performance

The Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU is very powerful for the $400 price range, and is a 6 core/12 thread CPU with an itegrated Radeon 760M graphics processor that is more in line with a low-end dedicated card than what many think of as "integrated graphics" For intel fans, it would be more like the Arc graphics in a Core Ultra chip than the integrated intel graphics in earlier chips. I upgraded the system with an 8 GB DDR5-5600 RAM card to bring the system to a symmetrical 16 GB DDR5 RAM. Despite the listed specs on New Egg, it is DDR5-5600 RAM, not DDR4. The 8640HS is a Zen 4 chip. It was easier to open than a Dell Latitude to upgrade the RAM but it still takes patience to open the tabs. The build quality looks decent, especially for the price. I got it for travel, but it seems capable of light gaming too. It won't handle something demanding like Witcher III, Cyberpunk 2077, or Baulder's Gate III well, but Alien: Isolation and Subnautica seems to run well. Older less demanding games like Skyrim should too. Full disclosure, I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS testing the games, so "mileage may vary" on Windows 11. Fan will run higher gaming of course. I read 72-76 C while playing Alien Isolation wandering around the ship at the start. This Ryzen 5 has a max thermal throttle temperature of 100 C like it's intel counterparts, so that is actually fine. It's meant more as a media/work laptop, and for the the laptop has more than enough power.

Received unit was in outstanding condition, had very few hours of usage per S.M.A.R.T. reports, the processor was a significant step up from what was advertised, and included touchscreen function which wasn't advertised at all - fantastic deal overall on a solid, clean, very-gently-used 7400. Also shipped in record time!

Fast and affordable. Just wish it had a Type C input.

The laptop looked like nothing was wrong with it, when I took it out of the package, but when I went to turn it on, the screen wouldn't work.
