Daily Usage Today

This device is still usable for basic tasks like web browsing and text editing today.

The versions with i3, i5, and especially the i7 can be used for a more advanced use, like medium graphical intense games and semi-professional photo or video editing.

We recommend upgrading the RAM to 8 GB (if not already equipped) and to switch the mechanical hard drive to an SSD, if it isn't already installed as default in your model.

This device will fully work on Windows 11 with proper drivers, but it may experience lags and low stability with the Pentium version.
