All good, very nice computer. The only point is the vent runs very high all times

Very happy with purchase

This was a gift for the missus for Xmas. Her previous laptop was getting slow and unreliable, plus it was not compatible for a Win11 upgrade, so I elected to buy her a new one. I went for what I considered reasonable spec. I'm only recently getting into AMD processors where everything I read about Intel says they overheat. It isn't as fast as my Alienware, but then it's a 6th of the price, but it's quick enough for what she uses it for. The screen is nice and clear and a reasonable size. The laptop itself is of a reasonable weight for the spec, it's not uncomfortable to spend an hour or so with it on your lap. Everything seems quite well built and robust, nothing rattles and the lid hinges are good and tight. Where I've knocked a couple of stars off, the packaging was pretty poor. Just a shoddy cardboard box, to the point I was amazed when I opened the box and the laptop inside was in one piece. I mean, kudos for saving the planet and all that, but over half a grand of laptop deserves some foam and bubble wrap, I'd say. My second point, maybe only relevant if you're a UK buyer, and I wasn't observant enough to spot this beforehand, but the keyboard is US layout. Easiest way to spot this is there is no key between the left hand shift and the Z key. If you have a high enough resolution picture, zoom in and the "2" key has "@" on it for the shift up rather than the " quote symbol. I can cope with that, the missus is trying to get to grips with it; this is the issue with buying from a foreign seller; I didn't realise the EU follow the US with this.
