Nice Computer for a Good Price, Some Downsides

PROS 1. Outstanding specs in a laptop for the price range. I could not find one with similar specs in the same price range, most were at least 200 dollars more. 2. Fast- I am already logging in within 6-8 seconds of turning it on. All programs are running super quick. 3. Does not seem to get too hot or loud. CONS 1. The screen is super dim and kind of washed out, even at full brightness. I find myself having to run it at 100 percent (unless I am sitting in a dark room) just for the colors to look close to normal. Having to constantly have the brightness all the way up really kills the battery. 2. Feels kind of cheaply made, especially the keyboard and trackpad. The lack of a back lit keyboard also really takes away from the experience. 3. The battery life sucks, plain and simple. I seem to be getting around 3 hours on full charge. I would want to rate this as 3.5 rather than 3, but there is not that option on here. I would say buy this computer if you are like me and are going to be mostly using this computer as a more mobile desktop, a powerhouse you can move around but will mostly use plugged in somewhere. Do not buy this computer if you are expecting a laptop you can game for hours on without needing to be plugged in.Read full review
