Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This will be a fairly detailed and honest review. 1. Who is this for? This computer is what I would consider a gateway computer. Those who are looking at upgrading a fairly old or not so powerful laptop and are looking to do a little more productivity, this is a great option. 2. What do you get? Well you can probably read the description, however it's worth noting. You get an Intel i7 7500u CPU (dual core with 4 threads) 12gb DDR4 RAM, Nvidia 940mx GPU, a 256gb SSD, 15.6" 1080p screen, fingerprint reader, and a backlit keyboard. The reason I mention all of the feautures is because you would be hardpressed to find another laptop with these features for the same price. To my knowledge there is not laptop on the market for $800 with an i7, dedicated graphics, 12gb of RAM and an SSD. This is really one of the best values on the market right now. With all of that said, this isn't for everyone. If you want to do extensive gaming, this is not for you. Can it game? Yes, light gaming can be achieved, however it isn't marketed as a gaming laptop. Is this for someone who wants to do editing (video, audio, photos)? Yes, again light editing can be achieved. What blew me away with this computer is the speakers! They are fantastic! I usually use headphones and would consider myself somewhat picky with sound, and for laptop speakers these are really something great. This computer is really a middle of the pack all arounders dream. If you dabble in a little of this and a little of that but don't do anything professionally or extremely serious, this is really all you need. Also, everyone's experience is different. Some hate loud fans, and if this is pushed the fans will be audible. Some don't like that the backlit keyboard times out after 30 seconds of no use. These things really don't bother me. Lastly, the versatility of this laptop is really great. I've bought tablets and sold them because I couldn't justify having a laptop and tablet, then bought tablets again because I missed the things I could do with them that I was missing on a laptop. This solved all of those issues except size. It's pretty big, which for some is a plus others its not. Overall, if you are looking at upgrading and don't want to spend $1,200-2,000 on a flagship model laptop this is a great option! I can't recommend this enough.
