Amazing laptop! I'm so glad I got this! It has a full HD IPS matte display, they keyboard is well spaced & the typing experience got me in track in no time, also is back-lit, the track pad is big and great. It's also super fast with i5 and SSD, and 8GB of ram. It boots in just 10 seconds. Silky smooth experience so far! The build quality and metal chassis are great! They truly feel solid with beautiful form factor but still light and no flexes of keyboard or anything! The two speakers sounds really nice and doesn't crackle and has a bit of bass in it. The battery is fine and will last you 6-8 hours of browsing, music, video, light tasks. Charging from 0 to 55% is 1 hour. Haven't tried gaming(Personally, I don't plan to game lol), but Intel HD 520 is very much capable of light games and moderate old titles(See YouTube), just don't play triple A games lol. It also has a fingerprint sensor which works lightning speed which you can use for logging in Windows. I also love that the heat vent is not on the bottom but on the back rear so my lap doesn't block. About heat, it is very much comfortable all the time. It is so quiet as well, I haven't heard the fan yet ever. The hinge also goes 180 degrees, which I thought at first was just gimmick but is actual so useful like when watching videos, you'll be surprised to see how good this is.
Now of course the cons but just minor(at least to me), would be the power button is with the keyboard at the most top right, some might press it as the delete button, so know that. But if you accidentally pressed it, it won't go to shutting down lol, it will ask of what will happen(Shutdown, Restart, Sleep, Close Display). Now the speakers are down firing(which is usual) so it might not get that loud when on a lap but is fine and great when on a table. It's not touchscreen(Who cares), and no optical drive(Old & makes laptops fat) if you need it.
I also want to say that the design and build looks very similar to the Macbook Air, but bigger display (14" vs 13"/11"), and better display technology (IPS vs TN) and better resolution(Full HD vs HD+). USB Type C, Fingerprint Reader, HDMI, also Windows 10! Just $599(or $499 for the i3 version).
I am super happy with this amazing laptop! The pros are overwhelming that the cons to me are nothing. I just said the cons just because there's no perfect thing. I've searched laptops for a month at this range and I'm so glad this suddenly just came out and got it and it fits everything I need. This is the best at this price range($599) so if this is your budget, for multimedia, school, or business, and you don't plan to play hardcore games on a laptop, then this is the best deal! You can't go wrong with this one! Hope this helps!
