Comment doesn't make sense. Same product is sold at other retailers. Walmart isn't making and selling its own computers.

I'll offer my unprofessional opinion: I just returned the i3 version of this exact same laptop to Amazon. The machine seemed pretty good, booted up plenty fast and was able to handle my basic needs. I bought it specifically for writing and research, which meant that the keyboard was very important. This keyboard... was not great. The spacing and size of the keys was very odd to me and I could not get a decent typing flow even after trying it out daily for a week. This may be very specific to me, however.

The trackpad is also hot garbage. So sensitive that it was constantly flying me all over the place or randomly zooming in and then it was a freakin chore to get things to reset properly.

Fingerprint reader and hinges, I had no problems with like some others experienced. The screen is also a matte TN that has a very limited viewing angle and wasn't great for the amount of text I was working with regularly. Maybe it's okay for other stuff but it started to wear on my eyes pretty quick.

Edit: Forgot to mention how annoying it was to just open/close it. Making it so light with cheap plastic meant that there was nothing keeping it grounded, so opening the thing requires two hands like delicately extracting a gd pearl from a clam. And I couldn't seem to casually close it on my desk without it sliding around, leaving a scratch on the desk at least once.

tl;dr: bought it for $60 more and I still don't think it's worth this price.
