As a student looking to convert to a more digital format in terms of notes and schoolwork, this laptop is great! I've had it several months now and I use it with a surface pen to take notes with it as if it was a regular pen-and-paper notebook. The processor and graphics card also allow me to run all of my favorite video games smoothly without any technical difficulties. It is a large computer and is a bit more heavier than I would've preferred, but overall that's something I'm willing to sacrifice to be able to have everything in one place. The only real grudge I have with it is the battery life. If you're not running anything particularly battery consuming (ie. video games) it usually can last a few hours. However, be prepared to watch your battery levels drop when you play even 5 minutes of your favorite PC game. Overall, if you're looking for a tablet-computer that can handle heavy loads and is a bit less pricey compared to it's Apple and Dell counterparts, this computer might just become your next best friend.
