Reviews consensus: This lightweight laptop brings all the efficiency and compatibility of Windows 11 in a stylish chassis with solid battery life and a 15.6-inch display. There's a built-in webcam and speakers, too, and while you shouldn't expect to unleash your creativity in more demanding apps, what's here makes it ideal for carrying between lessons.

TechRadar: ★★★★ (upgraded model) 

Buy it if: You want a dependable laptop with solid battery life for long days in school or college, especially one with a large display.

Don't buy it if: You want more power for more demanding tasks, or for gaming. You want a better webcam.
