It’s fast and boots up in under 30 seconds. The cores makes a huge difference in running programs, in other words you can do more than one thing at a time.
I purchased this laptop for personal home use as a replacement to an old desktop that was barely functional and ran with Windows 10. It was time to update and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Love the display, ease of use, and easy transfer of my files.
Nice laptop, moved very fast with Adobe creative cloud suite, BUT the speakers are not great. Sound is important when editing videos, so I took off stars.
