Summary Review
Laptop Rating: 9/10
PROs:
- Does what I need it to do (Programming and Gaming)
- Fantastic IPS monitor, contrast ratio and colors are brilliant.
- Booting and loading are very fast as expected.
- Lovely design and is a quality build
- Comes with windows 10 trial (I have a license key already).
CONs:
- Installing the second HDD was a bit strange (but it could be on my side).
- Finger print magnet cover (They did include a cleaning cloth).
- Battery life is very poor (2 hours) but I have it constantly plugged-in so so problem.
Overall Happiness
