This hardware only recognizes a very narrow range of microphones with the mike input and through USB. So the mic input is critical for my use, it's a big issue for me. It took quite a while of playing around before the laptop recognized my fairly new Pixel ear buds. Magically, one day it did - strange. The performance is good. All other aspects are good.
The laptop perform as expected for being new. I was concerned about the ad stating that the CPU processor speed was up to 5 Ghz but failed to mention that the base speed was only 1.7 Ghz. One of the reason I bought this computer was the number of cores and threads plus the processor speed. I am waiting to see how well the computer processor speed will be affected when there is more files, programs and apps on the computer. Also, I delete the McAfee trial software. I am not a fan of McAfee.
