If there’s any review you should read, it’s this one. My personal experience with this laptop has been amazing. I’ve had it for 5 years now and I have faced three main issues:
1) Screen - I foolishly closed the laptop with something hard in between and it damaged the screen. Cost £60 to get fixed and was my fault so not an issue.
2) Sound - quality of sound isn’t amazing but decent. However after about the third year, the sound started to break up and sometimes not work when NOT PLUGGED IN. This isn’t an issue for me as I use mine at home usually plugged in, but considering it started breaking after 3 years, i consider that pretty decent.
3) Memory - a decent memory of 390gb (what it says in settings), however if you’re a music geek and recording freak like me, more memory would be required. This again isn’t a problem for me personally as I have an external hard drive.
Battery life isn’t the best, and apparently screws up the sound after 3 years but isn’t too bad for me.
Easy to ya, great features and a big screen. After 5 years, I’m extremely happy with the purchase and would again if I didn’t need more memory :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :D
