The keyboard is very bad. Regardless of the OS settings, it constantly malfunctions and registers multiple repeated keystrokes; it is impossible to use for software development work, which is a shame given the expectations I had for this laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Thiago,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing issues with the keyboard. To resolve this, perform a controller/firmware reset. Turn off your laptop completely, unplug the power brick and all external devices, press and hold the power button for a full 60 seconds to completely drain the motherboard capacitors and plug the laptop back in and power it up. Additionally. ensure Windows, drivers, applications and BIOS are up to date.
