For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Snappy in single-core tasks for the money
  • Quick SSD and SD reader
  • Slim for a budget 15-inch
  • Good Wi-Fi and a useful set of ports
  • Good-looking design
  • Enough speed for daily work
  • Light enough to carry around

Cons

  • Washed-out colours even on the IPS panel; avoid the TN version
  • Slows down under long heavy loads
  • Memory can't be upgraded
  • Soft keyboard and small, shallow touchpad
  • Flexy plastic that collects fingerprints
  • Old HDMI 1.4 limits 4K to 30 Hz
  • Only about six hours of web browsing
  • NotebookcheckAug 2024

    Tested US 15IRU9 (Core 5 120U, 16GB soldered DDR5-5200, 1TB, IPS touch): fine basic machine for study and media if you expect little from the screen and sustained speed.

  • TechRadarFeb 2025

    Tested UK version (Core 5 120U, 16GB, 1TB, FHD touch): plain but good-value laptop that handles everyday Windows jobs and is easy to carry.

  • Laptop MagAug 2024

    Tested US version (Core 5 120U, 16GB, 1TB, FHD touch, $699): the reviewer accepts the budget compromises but not its roughly six-hour battery, and points buyers to pricier rivals.
