Let me start by saying the 27" FHD touchscreen is GORGEOUS. Binging Netflix feels like a mini-theater, and Harman Kardon speakers deliver crisp audio—no soundbar needed. The narrow bezels? Chef's kiss for a modern look.
But here's the tea: that 8GB RAM is a joke for 'heavy workloads.' Windows 11 alone eats 6GB! I upgraded to 16GB (yes, it’s DIY-friendly—just watch YouTube tutorials), and suddenly multitasking felt buttery smooth. Pro tip: Budget for RAM upgrades upfront.
The USB situation? *Side-eye.* Four ports sound decent until you plug in a keyboard, mouse, and DVD drive (yes, some of us still use those). A hub became my lifeline. Also, the non-adjustable height (11" desk-to-screen) gave me neck strain until I stacked books under it—classy, right?
Love-hate with the 5MP pop-up camera: facial login is futuristic, but the tilt-only stand feels limiting. And that included keyboard? Flimsy enough to make me raid my old peripherals stash.
Verdict? Solid for casual use if you tweak it. Power users? Look elsewhere or prepare to mod.
