What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
If you are looking for a gamer pc, this probably isnt your best option but as a light gamer and media pc, this should be ample power. The i5-8279u is quite capable and it scores 76% in my userbenchmark test. While the cpu used is not the latest tech, ... Read More
Windows is preloaded and ready to go. It boots from power off to windows login in 9 seconds. The pro version of windows gives you bitlocker, which allows you to encrypt the drive. Initial installation was done without issues, and operates without any ... Read More
Wi-fi 6, bt5. No issues with wifi connectivity, latency or speed. It runs gta v at 720p mid settings at around 30fps, which shocked me (not gta online) blue tooth 5 service allows for backward compatibility.
With 32 gb. Of ram and a 512gb m. Gb of storage, this is a great laptop. Comes with upgrade instructions if you decide you want to put in a larger nvme drive or more ram. Uses kingston memory which is good enough for a workstation.
Cons
Caps lock, num lock, etc lights come on when pressing the respective keys on th e keyboard. It freezes even in simple web browsing and randomly restarts.
Highlights
Quality
Very good quality for such a small machine.
The build looks, feels and simply is premium.
-- java minecraft runs liquid smooth 60fps at 1080p-- overall very snappy experience, browsing, video playing, switching between apps, etc.
Being old doesn’t mean it isn’t functional, it just seems like a strange decision.
Price
5 x 2 inches)- good value for the price- windows 10 20h2 installed with no bloatware- lots of ports considering the size (4x us... Read More
My only point that prevents me from giving full 5 stars is the value cost proposition.
The version i received had 16gb of ram and a 512gb ssd, which itself makes up nearly half of the cost of this product.
- because the ram is 2 sticks of 8gb and not a single 16gb stick, upgrading to 32gb costs more, as you need to buy 2 x 16gb sod... Read More
Shipping
Fast delivery and worked perfectly right off the box.
The computer was good, but i haven't heard back from custoner service after e-mailing them a week or two ago.
Packaging/appearance
It's a really snappy experiencea few noteworthy points-- nice box/packaging -- very compact and giftable actually-- includes a ... Read More
It arrived well packed, and worked immediately out of the box.
Not everyone can do this and most people want to just open the box and go because time-is-money.
The box is heavier than i expected and well packaged.
Competitiveness
I also tried games like planet zoo, farcry 5 and hitman 2 on lower graphics settings, and it was really good as well.
It would be pointless to make any comparisons unless it's to other machines in the same class.
Another point for me is, i can purchase a laptop with very similar specs in the refurbished/amazonwarehouse marketplace for around 500$.
This is a competitor to and in the class of lenovo and dell mini workstation pc's, not some high-performance gaming machine.
