I got a new laptop yesterday. A very nice and busy Amazon driver delivered it. Since we travel a few times a year I wanted to invest in a lightweight laptop. My new one is just over 3 pounds and my old one is about 3 times that. So far so good.
The battery life seems to be good. I used it of course once it charged for about 4 hours yesterday and not using it create this blog post and it still has about 73% charge left.
It is smaller of course so I don't have a number pad to the right so there is that to get used to.
The display seems nice, but I am not picky. When I first started it up the resolution was set to 1920 x 1080 at 150%. That made everything too big but at 100% everything was too small. So like Goldilocks I found a just right for me setting at 125%.
The keyboard is comfortable to use. The keys are nice and large. Not backlit but that would suck battery life, so it is okay. With the little bumps on f and j I can keep myself oriented when typing.
The trackpad seems very responsive to me. I am not a gamer or even close so this gives me all the functionality I need without having to pack a mouse.
On each end I found all the slots I needed. First of all a card reader for camera cards is a must and this computer has one. It comes with 1 new type usb and 2 of the older ones so that is good. Headphone jack for quiet movie viewing or listening to music. An HDMI slot is also part of the lineup on this computer, and I have a cable so I could connect this computer to a TV.
The laptop came preloaded with Windows 11. It is the first time I have used this operating system but it feels comfortable. Finding where all the settings were to personalize it have been easy so far.
I paid just over $400 for this laptop and feel like I got a good deal. The pictures are affiliate links, I did buy this laptop and the opinions are my own about it. If something goes wrong or it continues to be great, I will let you know.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
