Let me preface this by saying this is going back to BB for a full return. I cannot express the level of frustration this device has caused since I was foolish enough to take it on a business trip instead of my business laptop-- which is now sitting in customs awaiting clearance in a foreign country because it is simply not usable-- for anyone. First, it loses the WiFi. No amount of disabling, removing the driver, airplane mode, etc will recapture a functional WiFi device. I believe the Ethernet card/driver is somehow conflicting despite never having had an Ethernet cable plugged in. The only solution is a full restart, and since this occurs literally at random you could be mid project when you can no longer connect to an internet connection. Restarting also has issues since it just spins and spins. I once left it there "rebooting" for 15 minutes, nothing. Each and every time requires a forced restart. This includes during Windows updates. For some reason the WU feature on this version of Windows 10 updates and then restarts-- but this computer cannot handle such technical issues so it just goes directly into a restart and then spins and spins. Forced reboot only goes back to the home screen where Windows says, Update!
Other issues include: slow.... slow... slow typing-- even for basic word processing. It will lose your pinned items and won't allow you to re-pin them (I have no idea why). I have the computer on mute and it still makes sounds. The fan spins really hard, but I've skin checked the underside and naturally the keyboard, and it's not hot. It's just spinning, loudly and constantly. The battery saver mode burns through battery. On reviews with low usage, 60% dimmed screen, and light wifi use the battery lasted 4 hours. In my case, on 20% screen, wifi turned off (and couldn't turn it back on without a restart, naturally), and light word processing use I didn't even get 2 hours!! This isn't the 4K screen, a trade-off I originally made for more battery life (oh the irony) and the graphics look terrible. Any folders on your desktop are and even adjusting this setting provides no relief because then they blur out at lower percentages.
