    The best economical choice in the market....for reading, music, videos, cooking, movies, etc. It is top-notch...the viewing angle is a bit off but oh well..the basic requirement for the laptop to work smoothly is a pair of 16GB RAM...because with the 4GB it comes with, it tends to lag in many places since the graphics card only uses around 2.5GB of it...so I got myself a pair of 2x8GB RAM at 3200 and paid 33 euros and the laptop truly transformed into a perfect machine...I know I didn't discover America* as many others have written about it before but I can confirm it myself regarding the RAM...which can be easily changed with a screwdriver and a plastic card...find a relevant video on YouTube...

    Economical but of very low quality.
    2. Starting with the negatives as they are more numerous:
    1. The worst screen I have ever seen. The viewing angles are... basically non-existent. You can only understand what you're seeing from one angle. All others have terrible color distortion.
    2. The battery is at very low levels even with simple office 365 tasks and headphone use. Heavy use of 4 hours with teams and headphones/microphone.
    3. The construction is in shambles, wherever you touch it creaks or the plastic goes inside (especially the screen cover).
    4. If you fall on the model with the 3150U processor and 4gb ram you will struggle even with basic applications as with 2 chrome/edge pages and an excel it has finished ram-cpu. 8 gb ram is necessary.
    5. Slow charging. Mainly intended for plug and play use.

    Positives:
    1. Price.
    2. Appearance (looks more premium than it is at least until you hold it in your hands).

    One of the best laptops available on the market at a cheap price! Very fast speeds, you can upgrade to Windows 11 for free, the battery is very good, the image is perfect, it's worth the money if you want a very good laptop at a low price! I have had it since August 2022 until now, July 2023, and everything is perfect, the laptop is flying, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase!

    So, I've had it for about two months now.
    Here are my opinions:
    1. The screen has bad viewing angles
    You need to be properly centered.
    2. Battery is satisfactory, 4 hours for movies, etc.
    1.30 hours for gaming.
    The charger is quite fast and the battery isn't huge, so you can charge it in half an hour.
    3. Space and RAM
    It already has a Samsung MZNLH128HBHQ NVMe (M.2) SSD at 128 GB, and it has the ability for a second SATA SSD or HDD.
    With RAM, it can go up to 16 GB at 2660MHz.
    Overall, as a laptop, it can play games like GTA 5 and Stray at normal settings around 55-60 fps, and it can run everything except AAA games.
    If you have the budget, go for Ryzen 3 at 320-370 euros.
    DO NOT GO FOR PENTIUM GOLD, IT'S WORSE.

    Although it has space for a classic SSD/HDD disk, it does not have a SATA port to connect it. You can buy the appropriate cable and controller online to make the connection, but it is completely uneconomical. So, for those who want a larger disk, replacing the existing one with a larger one is essentially the only option.

    Adding more memory to have a total of at least 8GB RAM is necessary. So, if you upgrade the memory and disk, the laptop is good enough for simple use and light gaming like LOL, CSGO, etc. and in this price category, there is no rival. Compared to laptops with Celeron CPUs that are a little cheaper, it is much better. Also, be aware that the chassis is made of plastic with not a good finish, but in this budget, it is not a problem. 4 out of 5 from me and definitely VFM, just make the upgrades I mentioned.

    Well, the machine is top-notch for its price. It's free for what it offers. One thing that wasn't mentioned is that it has an SSD M2 SATA III disk and a second free slot for an extra 2.5-inch SSD disk. This means unbeatable speeds for everyday use.

    As for gaming, I don't know. Let someone else say. I don't know if it makes sense for the average user to buy more expensive processors....

    The memory, although only 4GB, is more than satisfactory. With an extra 8GB for +35€, it's a killer (it has an extra slot). Also, it's beautiful.

    The only negative is the camera, which makes you look like you're playing in a film with Aulonitis. That's it.

    Honestly, for its price, it's top-notch. It's even good for light gaming like Roblox, LOL, and the like, it's incredible. And for multitasking, it's perfect, so it's worth the money.

    I haven't had the chance to work with it enough yet, but at first glance, it seems like a very decent purchase for the money. It doesn't lack anything in terms of interfaces and connectivity, it has a very nice and sleek design, although the finish is cheap (probably due to its price), and so far it performs well.

    Fast startup due to SSD, but the screen is a downside. Overall, good value for money.
