Cons

• RAM Is Soldered: 4GB RAM is not upgradeable. What you buy is what you get . 4GB is enough for basic tasks only. Heavy multitasking will struggle.

• Display Is TN Panel, Not IPS: Viewing angles are narrow. Colors shift if you tilt the screen. Contrast is low . Fine for solo work, not for sharing.

• No Backlit Keyboard: Keys do not light up. Hard to type in dim rooms .

• Plastic Build: Feels durable but not premium. Acceptable at this price .
