Good laptop at a reasonable price. I don't use the supplied Windows, it has been replaced by Linux. Most things work, but a new core is required. Wifi works only since version 5.18, camera doesn't work at all, you need to add the device number (according to lsusb) to the driver source texts. The touchpad is connected via I²C, which I think is a bit strange, I would expect PS/2 when the keyboard uses this interface. There are no normal buttons under the touchpad, they are stored underneath it and so you need to press its bottom edge. Again, a bit of a strange solution, but you can get used to it. The notebook has three USB 3 A ports and one C port, which should also handle charging. I don't use Bluetooth and fingerprint reader, so I don't know if these things work in Linux.
