This unit is a great compromise between powerful CPU and GPU with good battery life.

It's far too early in this machine's life to be encountering problems, the company has very poor customer service, and I would strongly recommend against purchasing.

Great battery life, a matte screen (non-glossy) full HD, an SSD vs the HDD drive, and a backlit keyboard.

All my life I’ve wasted money on cheap and worthless laptops that can barely run Microsoft Word

It has reasonable battery life, the biggest downside is that it's not on the slim side, it's rather bulky and has it's good weight

: My machine is pretty new, but at least for now this has a pretty awesome battery life

If you want good battery life, moderately-priced, dGPU (that you can turn off!), that COMES with an SSD, expandable memory and storage AND has USB-C, a CD/DVD drive, a VGA output, a Kensington lock, 3 USB ports, an ethernet port, a headphone jack, and an HDMI output, then this is the perfect laptop for you!

Nice fast, excellent battery life.

Very fast ssd for a budget laptop, decent IPS screen, good battery life, and most importantly great performance

I agree with other reviews how this computer has good battery life and performance, but be aware it can have defects and if you do decide to buy (but maybe don't as i am sure there are better deals for laptops) keep a close eye.

Pros:-Decent battery life if you're just pudding around online

Very good performance with decent battery life.

Plays most games in 1080p.-ddr4 ram that is upgradable.-IPS full HD screen.-Very decent battery life

Great battery life, awesome performance and even better price

I spent the first two days conditioning the battery as the instructions said to do (completely charging and draining it three times) before going any further, and it appeared to have exceptional battery life.

You're getting a decent low power CPU, 2 GBs of dedicated graphics, a decent sized SSD, a full HD screen, 8 GBs of ram, and an incredible battery life for just $599.99

I don't need fancy, but I needed speed, stupid proof, a back lit keyboard, a couple of USBs, and decent battery life

This computer is fast, reliable, and has a great battery life

I am getting amazing battery life.

well I've played so far, has excellent battery life, awesome screen

The i5 8520U is a 15 watt chip running at 1.6GHz (turbo to 3.4GHz), 4 core which really improves the battery life along with the SSD without sacrificing performance

a gaming laptop and the i5-8250U does allow for a better battery life but it is a tad disappointing that even some older games' performance will be limited by the CPU.2

good performance with solid battery life.
