85 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
The laptop is generally well-liked for its performance, battery life, and ease of setup, with many users praising its attractive lavender color. However, one verified buyer was disappointed to receive a non-purple unit despite ordering specifically for that color, which is a notable inconsistency. Overall, it is considered an excellent choice for students and light users, though the non-touchscreen and flat keys may not suit everyone.
