Verified Purchase:Yes
Very happy with this purchase. I have been an Apple user for many years. Decided to switch to PCs after seeing that Apple increased their pricing. Here's my pros and cons:
Pros:
1) Great price. I bought mine when it was on sale for $799.
2) 512 GB SSD. Lots of space for all my photos and music. I even have enough room for video editing.
3) Sufficiently fast in boot and execution time.
4) Good keyboard with travel depth. Keys are located in comfortable positions. Note: there is no numerical keypad. However, without that, the keys are centered on the laptop - a positive for me. There are full sized shift keys.
5) Very good sound quality and loudness
6) All the ports: HDMI, SD, Headphone, USB 3, USB 2, and USB C are there.
7) Fan: quiet most of the time. Even when running, it is a low hum (fan runs only when using Flash or heavy processing. Silent when just browsing the web, watching Netflix, or word processing).
8) Super easy to upgrade. Remove 9 screws on the back and pry lid open from the vent area. Memory is upgradable. Currently have 1 8gb and 1 4gb module. SSD is a PCIe type (M.2 I think - not standard 2.5" SSD).
9) The tablet function is nice to have, but I don't normally use this. The only time that this is convenient is when I am reading music sheet while playing the piano.

Neutral:
1) Trackpad doesn't feel smooth under finger. It works well though. Even have 4 finger swipe gesture to switch virtual desktops.
2) The weight is decent, but not super light.
3) Screen can't dim all the way down. Screen is bright enough, however.

Cons: None that I can think of that is a deal breaker for the $800 price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: nice weight, build, screen size, trackpad feel and response, lots of RAM and SSD space, good price. loud enough speakers.
Cons: fan is louder than expected- turns on and off annoyingly, keyboard right shift is tiny and located to the far right making it difficult for touch typists. Even with latest specs, laptop feels slow at times. Out of the box, Windows will need to be updated or WIFI doesn't work well. Antenna is weaker than expected.
When the 910 is compared against my MacBook pro 15 non retina, the screen is not that bright and punchy, has a slight bluish tint.
Overall, I can't use this machine because of fan noise and tiny shift key. What a shame, really wanted to like this laptop.

Decent but slow

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: Good Price, bright screen, numeric keypad, has all standard ports (SD, USB A, HDMI, plus USB-C port, no bloatware, loud speakers, 2 in 1 design
Neutral (decent): Battery life (more than 7 hrs), decent trackpad, ok keyboard travel, weight.
Cons: Slow (caused by HD), fan is on most of the time (even when idle sometimes), power plug is flimsy, screen cannot be dimmed all the way down.
Note: Computer can be opened to upgrade RAM to 12GB (only had 1 slot) and SSD drive (standard serial 2.5") (10 screws, pry open the bottom case with a plastic spudger tool).
I returned the laptop because it is slow, the fan noise is noticeable in a quiet room, and the flimsy power plug is disconcerting.
