Don't Buy: Poor Manufacturing & QA
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cannot believe this laptop got through the Quality Control, if ever there was one. This has a backlit keyboard under specification (both BestBuy and manufacture's websites) and the keyboard does look like a backlit one. So I tried everything to enable the backlit (BIOS, F10 key with and w/o Fn Key, etc). Nothing worked, so I opened the back and inspected. The cable coming from the keyboard is simply snapped and stuck next to the battery (see the pic). It wasn't connected to the motherboard! How in the world this got through BOTH assembly and QA process? Then I thought may be it is accidentally disconnected. No, the motherboard doesn't has a port that this cable can be connected. So this laptop may be Frankensteined at last moment using parts designed for other models. If something this glaring was over looked, then what else already wrong and could go wrong in the future? Battery lasts about 3.5 - 4 hrs playing a youtube video on integrated graphics with balanced setting and without any other load. Pretty responsive on normal operations. But didn't play any games on it. Returning this as soon as possible.
