Nice laptop. Well worth when bought on a discount with some customization. Shipped pretty fast. Lightweight and easy to carry around Con - The fan does make occasional loud noise. The body could have been better quality material than this matte plastic.
I bought this laptop for my wife to replace the one she has had for a few years. I got it in blue because it is her favorite color. The black keyboard is so much easier to read than the silver one was. She mostly surfs the internet, and uses Facebook along with Skype. The base model meets her needs perfectly, and the improved battery life with faster charging is a plus. I am the one in the house that takes care of maintenance and repairs of the computers, and am happy that I can easily download a user and service manual. First thing I did was remove the bottom cover, and discovered that I don't have to remove the foot strips to access the screws anymore! I also like to loosen the hinges a touch to help prevent future seizing, and was pleased with the new hinge design that allows adjustment without having to remove the display to access the hinge nuts. I currently own the 17" version of this base laptop with the Ryzen 3 processor, and have been pleased with what I got for the price I paid.
