Great piece of kit. I bought it to run linux on. It runs mint 19.2 really well exept I have never got the tracker pad buttons to work, I did deduct a star for that but changed my mind cause I have got so used to it now that I forget they're there anyway, also the seller only said it would run windows and I assume it would (if you're into that kind of thing).Build quality is beautiful, it looks and feels like an expensive piece of kit. I love the Finnish.I have only used free open source software and I haven't had to download anything to get it to work (although if the touchpad buttons bothered me I would have looked for drivers). It has given me a great linux mint experience right out of the box.You cannot add ram, and the wifi is intergrated (if memory serves the antenna could be disconnected). In fact, aside from the m.2 slot the inside actually almost resembles a larger system on a chip but, but it's been a long time since I looked and I have had no issue with the hardware as is (be aware windows doesn't tend to get the same performance out of hardware that linux does so look at other reviews if you wanna run as is).Being fanless it doesn't make a peep, but with the all metal body I have had no issues with heat.The battery life is incredible, I can use this machine on and off for a day or more and it charges in no time. Plus it charges from usb-c too (a great trick when travelling, especially if you have other stuff that does like newer model Samsung smartphones)Super happy.Would recommend for a linux user or prospective linux user.For a windows user I would recommend......linux!Update: With Manjaro the mouse buttons also work straight away.Update: with later versions of mint the mouse buttons work out of the box.

From the day I got this laptop I keep getting a blue screen with error messages. My friend who worked in IT tried to fix it and it worked for a while but then the blue screen came back. I took it to another IT person to look at and they said it is a hardware problem and was there since I received the laptop. I missed the return window otherwise I would return it. Terrible. Disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased this laptop to help me carry out everyday tasks, such as; emails, Microsoft Excel and watching the odd YouTube video. As a student, I needed something to help me increase my productivity. I was falling behind my peers and my grades weren’t the best.I took it upon myself to find a laptop, that was portable, had a good battery life and was good enough to play the odd game as well.I am pleased to say that this laptop was all that and more, I found the design to be both sleek and pleasing on the eye. I found this laptop to be extremely portable, dragging it from classroom to classroom, with relative ease. And, even with fairly high usage, it was able to last the full day without needing a charge. Although the charger even comes without a power brick, making it even lighter.It comes with everything you could possibly need, even a sd card slot, which actually came in handy when I was doing my coursework and having to transfer files quickly.I love this laptop and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering getting it, it's perfect for on the go, light business/student use and will increase your productivity.It is also great value for money.

I purchased this on offer at just under £200, which is astonishing for a Macbook-Air like aluminium-body 14” laptop with Windows 10.The Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) install appears to be genuine and is free of any additional bloatware from LincPlus (though still has the usual Microsoft-provided rubbish).The supplied charger is a 12v 2A barrel plug wall-wart unit, but the laptop’s USB-C port does support charging of the laptop with a suitable USB-C power supply. My 45W and 65W Dell units work fine with it. I don’t think it would work with a 5V-only USB-C charger. I couldn’t get charging to work through a USB-C hub with passthrough charging support; but the hub itself worked fine.Note that the product image showing the port layout on each side is incorrect. The left side has (in this order, back to front); USB-C, Micro-HDMI and USB-A. The right side has DC power, 3.5mm TRRS, USB-A and Micro SD.The built-in 64GB SSD is roughly half full with the standard Windows 10 installation. The extra (SATA only) m.2 slot is easily accessible for additional space; I’ve thrown a used 180GB drive in there to dual-boot Linux.Incidentally, this laptop plays nicely with Linux. All devices appear to work fine without additional configuration.The 4GB of RAM is listed in the BIOS as two 2GB banks of LPDDR4 @ 1600Mhz.There are no fans at all, so the unit is completely passive and silent. It does not get particularly warm.Performance in Windows 10 is just barely acceptable for single-tasking; web browsing, watching 1080P YouTube, etc. I purchased this for coding in VSCode, which it handles fine. You will find yourself regularly waiting a couple seconds for it to catch up. The CPU is most definitely showing its age and budget classification.Zorin Lite performs fairly well on it, having lower system requirements.You're not going to be gaming on this. Quake 3 Arena just about runs smoothly on it.The keyboard has a great layout; full size arrow keys, dedicated Paging/Down/Home/End keys and relatively few odd placements (for example, the pipe and backslash being fn-overlay keys on z and x respectively). The power button is part of the keyboard, which doesn’t personally bother me. I haven’t pressed it by mistake.The typing action is okay; not great. The keys have a fair amount of travel but require quite a lot of force to activate, so it takes some getting used to (from something like an Apple chiclet keyboard). It is possible to fully depress a key and not have it actually activate; for example, if you hit an edge or corner. The effect is that the keyboard feels slightly unreliable. Being a little more aggressive with key-presses resolves this.The trackpad is nice and large. Windows identifies it as a ‘Precision Touchpad’. The tactile buttons underneath require more force than most, so it’s another thing to get used to. The surface is ever so slightly tacky, so my fingers don’t move quite as smoothly as they could.Battery life is not as advertised. The ‘10 hour’ value is a fantasy. I allowed the machine to idle on the desktop with 50% screen brightness and wifi on, for which it lasted just under 7 hours. I suspect if you left it to idle in flight mode with minimal brightness you could achieve 10+ hours; but that would be a completely pointless exercise. If you actually intend to use your laptop, typical real-world duration seems to be 3-6 hours, which is not great for this class of device but not awful. As noted, battery life seems to be better in Linux (Zorin Lite) than Windows 10; but results will likely vary wildly between distros and usage.The screen is pretty much what I expected; a decent matt-finish 1080P unit that doesn’t get particularly bright and has poor accuracy out of the box, with a noticeable blue/green tint. However that’s easily resolved using Windows’ built-in calibration tool; just taking the blue/green levels down slightly to achieve a better balance.My panel does have a very odd defect that is only visible on black and dark-grey backgrounds; a two-inch oval patch of slightly red sub-pixels; as if they aren’t quite capable of entirely blocking the backlight. It’s not really a problem for my use case and took me a while to notice; but definitely a defect - one that I’ve never encountered before.Aside from that there is almost no backlight bleed and no ‘typical’ pixel defects evident.The webcam is good enough to use. The speakers are not. The 3.5mm headphone socket is a TRRS variety and supports headsets. Headphone output quality is decent and satisfying. I tried the Philips X2 and DT1770 Pro; both can be driven well beyond normal listening volume with no evidence of background hiss. Bass response isn’t as tight as usual which probably indicates a high output impedance.The build quality is good. The exterior is (very thin) aluminium, screwed into threaded inserts of a plastic interior frame. The hinges appear to be steel. The entire back cover comes off easily with no plastic tabs to break; although the only user-upgradable part is the additional M.2 SSD slot, for which a small cover is provided. Not sure why they bothered with the little hatch when the whole back comes off so easily.It doesn’t have the same exquisite feel as a Macbook or Surface product; but is way better than it has any right to be for the price. Everything is finished consistently and feels smooth. Ironically the aluminium case on this has less ‘sharp’ edges than my prior unibody Macbook Air, so feels more comfortable to use. The hinge cover appears to be the only plastic case part.In summary, I’d describe the whole user experience as being slightly awkward; the keyboard and mouse don’t feel as well-tuned as any ‘brand’ laptop I’ve used; but aren’t bad in any respect. The processor is just slow enough to make you wait. The screen is only just bright enough and the battery life doesn’t live up to the expectations set by the product description. The storage space is minimal but can be easily extended with the M.2 slot and Micro SD slot.It’s a simple, well-built and stylish device that looks and feels better than it should; but low performance lets it down.The fact that this entire device costs the same as the extortionate £200 8GB RAM upgrade option for the M1 Macbook is comical.
