Expert tester comments
A competitively priced 2-in-1 featuring the latest in processing technology, an excellent screen, and a very good keyboard and touchpad. It can be used capably as a tablet for handwriting and drawing tasks, thanks to the supplied stylus, and would be suitable for high school or uni students. However, its battery life did not impress in our tests, recording noticeably shorter times than similarly configured computers. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
