Excellent upgrade - looks/feels/acts like a Mac

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always purchased cheaper laptops and upgraded them myself after the fact. My last one lasted about a year before I started to have a lot of issues so I decided to upgrade a bit with this laptop. I got it for $800 so I think I got a decent deal. I am not an Apple computer fan but do like some of the Apple features (finger zoom, sleek look etc.) so this laptop looks and feels like a mac with all of the pluses of being aPC in my opinion.
The startup is super fast. The processor seems pretty fast as well. I did upgrade from 12GB RAM to 16GB RAM however not out of requirement but I just like having more RAM. I often work with multiple large excel documents at once so felt the need to upgrade further. I use it primarily to plug into a display hub to go to 2 monitors and have not had any issues at all.
The few negatives, the power button is in a bad spot (on the side bottom right end of the computer) so I found whenever I would grip the laptop to move it on the side, I would put the computer to sleep. I changed the settings to make the power button not do anything when pressed. Also, when it's in sleep mode for a while, I have had cases where tapping keys doesn't do anything (the keyboard will light up but nothing else). If I press the power button it will just restart which can be annoying but I am sure I just haven't figured out the right method yet. I also wish it had the offset keyboard with the number keypad off to the right. With a 15.6" laptop there is a lot of real estate on the main panel it it looks kind of awkward to have about 2" of dead space on either side of the keyboard.

Does it overheat easily if streaming audio or video???
Not that I have noticed. I plug into a hub so I have the laptop monitor as well as two externals going. My daughter will sit and work with me - she will watch youtube on the laptop screen while I work on the other two. No noticeable uptick in heat or hearing the fan run or anything. Really only heard it run a few times in the couple weeks I have had it.
