    Good value.

    So far, I'm very happy with it. Like a few others have mentioned, I wish the power button was located separate from the keyboard and not between the print screen and delete buttons.

    Great Features and Perfect Size

    I bought this 2 months ago and I really like it. It has all the features I wanted: touch screen, key pad, lighted keyboard, and the 15.6 size is perfect for me. I would have liked an option on color, but the silver is nice. It looks silver - bright and not gray. I haven't had any issues with glare. There are so many options to darken your screen. You don't have to have that bright white screen if you don't want to. It is very easy to type on. I like this much better than a desktop.

    Definitely more than I expected

    I was just looking for reasonable laptop to replace a 10 year old Win10 system. It's much faster and was very simple to set-up and use than I expected. Time will tell about its reliability, but at this time it's a solid 5 stars.

    Old user - new product!

    I'm an older woman that has had a computer for a long time. For me, things are getting more difficult because there are so many new things to learn. So, even getting it set up was a little hard.

    Great laptop for a budget!

    This laptop really hit all of the points I was looking for. Major Pros -Touchscreen is responsive. -The keyboard is great and feels comfortable to work with -Quick buttons are great -Quick to boot up! -Vibrant screen -Lightweight and clean design -The keypad is one of the main reasons why I wanted to get this because of all the data and marketing I worth with -Didn't start with any filler apps like games. Cons -I was looking to purchase a keyboard cover and I am not able to find anything that matches this computers model. Everything is just slightly off. -The mouse pad does feel a little thin but doesn't detract from how it works -A couple of times since having it I have turned the computer on and it will reset my background. Not sure if anything else was changed but that was the only noticeable thing. Not sure what caused that. -Volume is okay but nothing special, you are definitely going to want to use headphones or a Bluetooth speaker. They work well but nothing to really shout about.
