First Impressions:I bought this laptop for high school. My last laptop was a big, clunky, heavy Lenovo laptop. I never noticed how slow it became before it was too late, and I had an assignment ruined because it took 5 minutes for the laptop to start up. So, you can imagine my excitement when I opened the computer and signed in and opened a browser in less than 1 minute. The pen took some getting used to, but I can reliably use it as a whiteboard when studying. The specs looked intriguing to me, with an SSD and 12gb of ram. It's leagues faster than my old laptop.A couple of weeks in:I am satisfied with this purchase, and I probably won't buy another laptop until halfway through college. As a student, this fits my needs perfectly. The battery lasts a full day at school, the 360-degree rotation is useful, and the fast start-up times makes keeping up with a teacher easy.Price:I'm a high school kid working a minimum wage job who's exceptionally cheap, so keep that in mind. I bought this laptop used for around 430$. It said there would be a scratch, but I don't see it. For that price, I would call this a steal, but for 531$ plus tax, I would say it's what you pay for.Likes:The pen is a useful inclusion. I did not expect myself to be using it. I like studying for the SAT around night time, and I used to use a whiteboard. I can use the laptop as a whiteboard in both tablet and tent mode. Yeah, the USB holding port is in an inconvient spot, but I just carry the pen in my backpack. However, there are disappointments that I'll talk about below.It works for light- ish gaming. Minecraft runs around 60FPS and usually higher in vanilla; CSGO runs smoothly as usual. I haven't tried it for newer, extreme games, and I doubt it will run them well.It's fast. The ram and SSD rarely have me waiting for anything not involving slow internet. I can boot it up in seconds, and signing in with my finger is a nice touch, although I don't know if it's incredibly useful after that.The keyboard feels great to type on for a laptop. I like the tactile feedback that it gives.Dislikes:The screen is crisp, but I didn't think it would be that small. Everything on the computer is zoomed in 150%, and if you zoom out to 100%, it looks tiny. Words are easy enough to read normally but forget about using two windows side by side if you do that a lot. A lot of programs don't know what to do when zoomed in and have terrible zoomed-in quality.The glare is sort of obnoxious. It's fine most of the time, but when the laptop has a dimmed screen, you could use it kind of like a mirror. At least you can see when teachers are behind you? If you don't work around windows and natural lighting, you probably won't notice, though. Max brightness mostly solves it.The pen feature is great but only shines when used as a pure whiteboard and not a computer with it. I use it as a board and have my desktop in front of me, answering questions on Khan Academy. I tried using it on the laptop, but never got used to it. Some ads show off how easy it is to draw on the screen, but in reality, you actually draw on it either using Microsoft Edge (meh) or using the screen capture annotation thing. Edge would have worked well, except every time you start drawing, you no longer can interact with the webpage itself. The page refreshes after, which sort of defeats the purpose. The screen capture is useful enough, but switching back and forth constantly is kind of annoying when you're already annoyed about doing homework.Conclusion:Overall, I would buy this laptop if it were on sale. At full price, it is a decent pick up if you have the money and an affinity for what this laptop has to offer. As a student, it fits all my needs. There are problems with the screen, glare, and pen feature. The screen issues come with having a touchscreen laptop, but the annotating feature works well enough, and definitely can be improved. I'd give a solid 4/5.
