Very sturdy. Charges quickly with good battery life. Very fast and stable (Windows 10 feature rather than laptop). Screen is quite basic with large bezels. Great keyboard and touchpad.
Dave BThis review is limited because I don't use all its functionality in earnest. It's permanently plugged in, almost always on and linked to my TV, mainly so I can download and watch films. So far I'm impressed with its speed and ease of use. The fan went on my last Lenovo after c 10 years similar use. Hope this lasts longer! The screen is a big improvement on the old model and connections to my domestic network work well. I sit about 12 ft from the screen and control it with a mouse no problem. At some stage I may get a remote keyboard but for now I can use the ease of access on screen keyboard for inputting passwords etc. Hard to know how it would compare with a cheaper laptop but I paid £670 for it which seems fair.
