Hi Robin, we’re sorry to hear your new laptop wasn’t quite what you expected based on the description! We want to make sure you have the best experience possible, so please feel free to reach out to our support team if you need help finding the right setup or have any questions.
Overall, this laptop is functioning well. However, it is difficult and a bit frustrating to use it because of the keyboard, which is probably the most important peripheral. It is bad enough that the keys are not back-lit, but white letters on gray keys (i.e. low contrast) make for an unpleasant user experience. Important enough to say “I wish I knew it“ before I bought it.

Thank you for the 4-star review! We’re glad your OmniBook 5 is performing well, and we want to let you know that your Glacier Silver model actually does feature a backlit keyboard. To instantly improve key visibility and contrast, simply press the F5 key (or Fn + F5) on the top row to turn on and adjust the brightness levels. We appreciate your feedback and hope this quick fix makes your typing experience much more comfortable!
This computer is everything I need as an engineering PhD student. It has a solid battery life and can run data analysis programs without lagging (Solidworks, MATLAB, Graphpad, etc.). The keyboard is comfortable to use. Even though the power button is in the top right corner, where I'm used to the delete key (which is right next to it), so I keep accidentally pressing it, it doesn't power off the laptop with the light touch, which I really appreciate. I do miss having dedicated home/end keys (which are now incorporated as functions on the right and left arrow keys).

Great size, great speed, fits right in quickly. Was a bit cautious about Snapdragon but it works great with Office 365 and basic software. GREAT purchase!
