Good laptop but non-HD screen is a deal killer It's ridiculous to use non-HD screens at these times.

One of my biggest tech regrets was getting a 768p laptop for schoolwork -- word processing, research, collaborative work, etc. is cramped and lousy (especially on a 15"). Anything less than 1080p is simply not worth it in my opinion.

Must be an Apple fanboi too. Always about brand but fail to see this screen is shit for the price and it's heavy as hell.

Tongfang made great chasis using magnesium alloy for Motile 14 :-D but Technologically challenged people will never know that LMAO

I'm enjoying my IPS panel 1080p, Quadcore, 2.5lb for $220+tax Peace None of this Lenovo POS XD

People really don't understand that 720p is HD. All these comments with people not knowing the difference between HD and FHD.

All my laptops have always been 720p so I don't think I'd be bothered by it. I'd really like one thats 1080p but I don't want to pay over $300. Seems like so many people pay for expensive laptops, good cheap ones are rare.

I can 100% tell the difference between 720p vs 1080p. 720p is a sin. No one should made one in 2020.

Yea I agree. I'll keep on waiting for the right deal. But 720p is HD and people keep saying "its not hd thats a dealbreaker" 1080p is referred to as FHD.

Dual core, 720p display, 0.3 MP webcam is meh. Pass.

Probably TN panel too

I still recommend refurb motile 14 at eBay vipoutlet $300. 1080p IPS, 256GB, 8GB RAM, Ryzen 5 quad core 3500u. 2.5lb only. Windows 10.

Don't buy garbage people.
I bought this and unfortunately immediately returned it. Laptop crashed reliably within 2 minutes of startup. Bummer because it was a sweet little rig.

Perhaps I just was unlucky with a dud. Fortunately they did free returns with no hassles.

I bought this two days ago and the link on the Microsoft Store to switch out of S mode is broken. Three hours on with MS tech support and they don't know what's going on. If they don't fix it before Walmart's return window closes I'm taking it back. So disappointing.
Yeah that happened to me too, but more hours than I could count. Folks who say it's easy to switch to fill windows either haven't done it or are extremely lucky.

I got 3 and it was a crazy good laptop for the price.
Got one for $220.
Two more for $280.

Motile 14 for life. 2.5lb goodness. Literally, a steal compare to this garbage.
Do the Motile laptops have dual channel RAM? IIRC they didn't when I was looking around Xmas time.
I bought a couple refurb HPs from them instead so I could drop an extra 8GB in both plus a cheap SSD in the one that came with a HDD. vipoutlet is awesome, their refurbs are top notch, can't even tell they aren't new.

That said their prices are a bit high right now. If you can wait until closer to BF/CM, that is prime laptop price time. Something like this will be $200 by then. This might be decent price for the moment, though I'd personally prefer Ryzen for the superior GPU.
