What if MS allowed you to switch out of S and into Windows 11 Home for free and it took less than 30 seconds?
Very tempting but the last time I bought a cheap Asus vivobook 2 in 1 from Microcenter, the hinge broke in 4 months. At least they were good enough to fix it under warranty but it took 2 months.

If you are in need of a cheap laptop, then I would still consider buying this, but perhaps don't use it in tablet mode or abuse the hinge.

Quote from netnethunter :
Just bought the laptop. Yes, it does charge over the usb-c port, as you would expect for thunderbolt. Not too much bloat on the windows install. Just mcafee and myasus (if you count myasus as bloat). Connected to my triple monitor setup via docking stations seamlessly. Speakers sound pretty decent. Can't comment on hinge quality cause don't know how to assess that.
Cons
1. Heavy – Especially compared to my dell Inspiron 13 5310 (I know that's a slightly smaller laptop but still the weight difference is massive)
2. Only 1 thunderbolt 4 port
3. Touchscreen not the greatest imo. I was trying to read a manga by swiping using the touchscreen and so many missed swipes. Unusable for swiping to read manga like an iPad (let me know if there is a fix for this)

Overall, very few laptops at this price point come with thunderbolt, which I need to connect to my monitors. So even though I am dis-appointed with the touchscreen, I plan to keep it.
The listing says it's 3.3 pounds. Is that inaccurate?

I just got my hands on the laptop today. The display meets expectations for its price range (300), and the build quality is impressive. However, one drawback I've noticed is its battery life, which falls noticeably short compared to others in its class. This may be attributed to the P-series CPU.

How do you even get that on an IPS? That's something else.
It's because IPS and color gamut are 2 different things.

The official ram upgrade spec is all crap. The actual supported is basically whatever cpu will support according to intel spec which is up to 64GB for this cpu. But there is only one sodimm slot so you can only add a 32GB to make it a total of 36GB.

Yes I agree, the battery so far has been disappointing.

You think it's because it's still settling? I know phones and some pc take a while to index all the files and "settle in" before the battery life improves.

That's what I'm hoping is the case. I'm going to continue to play around with settings and see if I get better results

We are on the same Motile upgrade path...

Notebookcheck doesn't have samples for the 1220p but they suggest it should be close to a 1240U.

If they lower to $239 at my MC I'll go get one to play around with.
