  • Handles light everyday work
  • Lasted about 9 hours in a web-browsing test
  • Keeps up with many browser tabs and video
  • Touchscreen, webcam shutter and fingerprint reader on the tested unit
  • Wi-Fi 6
  • Very good keyboard for typing

Cons

  • Dim screen
  • Modest speed
  • Build feels cheap if you pay full price
  • Screen covers only about 60% of sRGB
  • Thin, weak sound
  • Touchpad sits off to the left and catches the palm
  • Loses charge while asleep
  • PCMag (summary via Notebookcheck)Apr 2024

    US 15IRU8 (exact version not given, about $300 sale unit): fine for browsing and office work, only sensible at a deep discount.

  • TechRadarJan 2024

    US 15.6-inch i3-1315U, 8 GB, 512 GB touch unit: enough laptop for everyday tasks, best bought on one of its frequent sales.

  • Reviewed (USA Today)Nov 2023

    US i3-1315U, 8 GB, 256 GB touch unit: pleasant to type on and quick enough for light work, but only worth it at $500 or less.
