What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the compact metal design, smoother 90 Hz screen and affordable everyday performance, but criticised the basic cameras and slow charging. TechAdvisor considered battery life good and the display crisp; Notebookcheck found endurance mediocre and criticised low sharpness and a blue tint. Notebookcheck could not establish the update promise at review time, while TechAdvisor's later test reported seven years of support.
