Average battery with just 2.15 hours of backup but shows battery indicator as 3.15 hours.. But definitely not 8 or 11 hours as mentioned in company’s website….. I have tried all possible power modes with customs settings but no improvement.
But the processor is super fast in booting…. Not a solid keyboard make, which is the only drawback… But most of the brands in this range have similar build quality… So take your best bet in this aspect.
Genuine buyer review
Bonus… There is really 30 days free trial version of mcafee virus scanner…. Which is not mentioned in the spec anywhere.

As with the looks its very sleek, lightweight and the colour is dark grey which gives it a classy look. It has a matte finish all over.
The keyboard is comfortable to type and the font of print on it is big which is good even if you keep your laptop at distant. There is two light settings for the backlight on the keyboard which to me seems pretty useful.
The battery backup is also good and no heating issues as such. I did observe that it charges up quickly.

The only con I feel is that the colour scheme of display is slightly warmer in tone. If we had an option to make it cooler than I would have zero complaints. But the warmer tone is easy on eyes so that’s personal choice.

Overall its the best Machine in this budget, a student can definitely go for it without hesitation for everyday chores and more.
