User Recommendation

Ideal For:

• Students: Excellent for research, writing papers, and attending online classes thanks to the 1080p webcam and portable weight.

• Basic Office Work: Handles Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), email, and web browsing (10–15 tabs) smoothly.

• Media Consumption: The 16:10 WUXGA display provides more vertical screen space than standard 1080p screens, making it great for reading and spreadsheets.

Not Recommended For:

• Gaming: Only suitable for very light titles (e.g., Roblox, Minecraft, or League of Legends at low settings). It will struggle with AAA games.

• Professional Video Editing: While light 1080p clipping is possible, the 4-core CPU and 8GB RAM will slow down significantly during 4K rendering or heavy multitasking.
