sorted byFor the price of 230 pounds this laptop is a steal. Intel i3 processor even if it is 10th gen. enough for most people's everyday use. For more serious editing or gaming this is not your choice, go for intel i5 or ryzen 5 min. instead. This comes with 4 gb onboard (soldered) and 4 gb interchangable ram, ddr4, so it is upgradable up to 12 gb (4+8). Maybe 20 gb total max but nobody has tested yet. There is an empty hdd slot as well so you can extand your drive (you will need a rubber "case" to fit the hdd in and a sata cable (short, likely bended, no screws). Ssd is 256 gb and also upgradable. Mine is WD green. Wifi card is realtek 8821ce, which is ac at least but not a speedy one and does not support wifi6. But you can upgrade this as well. In everyday use, after a good setup (proper driver installation, switch from win 11 s to win 11 home for free, windows 11 proper setup) this laptop is very handy and quick. Screenwise it is a bit dull, not so bright, not so sharp, not ips but lcd led (tn). Like I said for this price it is good enough and FullHD at least. This particular discounted priced model has no microSD slot, no fingerprint sensor and no backlit keyboard! This does not charge via usb type-c either. Its own charger is 45 watts capable one. Battery life with medium brightness, wifi on but other wireless hardwares off lasts about 4-5 hours with browsing the internet mostly reading articles. With FullHD video playback it drops to 3-4 hours. But my laptop is still brand new so battery test is not so reliable from me at this point. It could be better I think. No, it could not. It is not. All in all it is a great laptop and more importantly you can upgrade some components later on. And it would be better if you do. 1 TB hdd, wifi 6 card, 8 gb ddr4 ram cost about 80 pounds together. Maybe the wifi antenna is just 1*1 in the machine but it can be easily upgradable to 2*2. (Easily means it is easy for those who are not beginners with repairing/disassemle laptops.) (edited)
15.6-inch, FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 aspect ratio, IPS-level Panel, 60Hz refresh rate, 250nits, 45% NTSC color gamut, Anti-glare display, Non-touch screen, (Screen-to-body ratio)83% (edited)
It feels a little cheap, like very hollow so when typing you can hear the sound of the plastic cover moving/compressing.
Also the thing I hate most that almost made me return it is the US enter key (it is UK layout with the £ sign, but it has that wide enter key that US layouts have)
I don't know why manufacturers do this but it's really annoying.
But for the price (I paid the same price for a slightly better CPU but less storage and a smaller screen) it's pretty solid. Much better than the ones with Celerons you would usually get at this price
Edit: monitor is panelook.com/N14…tml (edited)
Will run other basic games too but may struggle a little with some unless you upgrade ram to 12gb (though running the default 4+4 is also beneficial as they are the same amount in each ram slot) (edited)
