    Gisela Arreguin

    This is a very nice laptop, it’s way faster than my previous laptop, much more reliable, and has an amazing battery life. In my opinion, it’s not very expensive for how great of a laptop it is. My only complaint is that sometimes it takes a bit too long to start up.

    • Biswanath Debnath

      Agreed with your review, indeed a good computer for its price, and I really get fast start up or shut down. But, I see two practical problems: (i) and unnecessary dedicated numeric pad that leads to relatively small keys, given the size of the laptop, and (ii) most of the ports on this model are clustered on the back of the keyboard deck, instead of on the sides that is very inconvenient.
