Keyboard

Does Not Live Up to Great Reviews and Keyboard Sucks.

It is worse than the old Apple laptop keyboard. Plus, the chassis sags as you type. Really shoddy for the price.

The Enter key is SO soft and mushy and I've noticed many of the keys, like the pair of Space bars, are also soft and don't register contact multiple times. VERY frustrating as I can type around 50 wpm and I'm having to Backspace WAY too much! GRR!. I want to send this POS back and try another brand, but I've found no other alternatives in my searches.

Battery Life

Battery drained in less than 4 hours with normal use -

This is the case even when I turn off background app refreshing and turn on battery saver mode to 'always'. The 4 year old computer I replaced had a better battery than this system. Note - I received a replacement laptop thinking maybe something was wrong with the unit and found the replacement was the same. I went through all settings and tried to reduce power useage, but it still seems limited to 4 hours

Good but with some disappointments.

It might be marginally but use it for a couple hours and it's going to need a charge. I wouldn't recommend this for students. Having 2 classes in row will mean you're looking to sit near a plug in class to keep it charged. You can dim the screen down but that's not always possible when you're in a bright classroom
