Excellent if you value battery life and low noise
I bought the 16GB / 512GB / OLED model.It is fast, well built, light, and the screen is beautiful.The speakers are definitely above average, but nothing to write home about when compared to more premium devices.The fan is either off or quiet when performance is set to ‘power efficiency’ or ‘balanced’ mode, but it’s noticeable when on ‘high performance’ mode. The fan sound profile is a pleasant whoosh and there are no abrasive frequencies or whistles. If you want a laptop that will be quiet while you do everyday tasks and light gaming, I thoroughly recommend this one. I am VERY sensitive to fan noise, so if you’re like me in that respect then you can buy with confidence.Note that as this laptop has an ARM processor, some applications won’t be compatible with it, although the Prism emulation has handled 90% of what I’ve thrown at it just fine. Apps that tend not to be compatible are ones that interact heavily with drivers, but even some of those have an ARM version available to install.AVX support is coming to Windows on ARM, so gaming compatibility is set to be much greater. Don’t expect to play anything too demanding on this, though – set your aspirations to 4X strategy games, roguelikes, 2D, and older games (pre-2020) to avoid disappointment. It runs The Sims 4 perfectly. Some games with anti-cheat won’t work at all, so don’t buy this if you want to play competitive online games.The battery life is excellent when in power efficiency mode – you’d be looking at about 13 hours of use if the screen is set to 40% brightness and you’re doing light tasks such as Word, Excel, general web browsing. Expect a little less if streaming videos. If you’re gaming on balanced mode, expect between 4 – 6 hours from a full charge.When put to sleep in the evening and left overnight, the laptop loses around 5% of its power by the middle of the next day.The port selection is generous for a modern laptop.Well worth the money when it’s on offer (I got it for £599) but you’d probably be better off spending a bit extra and getting an M4 Macbook Air if the normal price is closer to £800.

Terrible
I bought this as my old laptop was dying in terms of battery and all round performance.Looked at tons of reviews and values and this seemed a good deal. Well, il start with the positive. The battery is insanely good. I have multiple tabs and you are talking 10+ hours from this.That’s where the positives end. It would be sluggish at times with the multiple tabs open. The speakers were not very loud compared to others in this range. Screen quality was ok. Performance from start up was adequate and given the price I sucked it up as an adequate laptop that had insane battery performance.Well two months in, I want to clean the screen as it was slightly dusty and abit dirty so pulled out a wet wipe and BOOM, I had a streak of lines appear on my screen which would not go. Did think this was weird but thought, well they’ll go in a few minutes. Nope. After five minutes the screen went completely black.After that, couldn’t reset, couldn’t do anything. The laptop had life as I could see the keyboard light up, but the screen was gone and I had to send back.I’ve had tons of laptops and monitors. I’ve sprayed some. But mainly use wipes and I’ve never had a single issue. This one though, absolutely write off from one wet wipe. Not impressed.

Amazing Battery, excellent build quality
Excellent battery time, averages about 15 hours, even on daily usage for my part time job, not for netflix ( I dont watch on the laptop)Performance is amazing, I purchased the Intel i5 one but returned it for this one, and am really happy with that decision. Also, you get MS Office thats specific for the ARM enabled software so the Performance really steps up a notch!
